Random small hose (it needs to go somewhere?)

Just going over my car and realized this hose wasn't connected to anything. It starts at a valve type thing on the very back left side of my engine and then comes all the way up to the front right side (If you were standing at the front of my car looking at the engine).

The picture shows it up at the right side. There is a canister in that spot, and then there is something saucer shaped. One of the hoses connect to that, I think that has something to do with my cruise control or something. I tracked it back to my throttle cables and all that. But the hose (as you can see) branches into another and that one has no where to go. Well at least I cant find it.

Anyone have any idea where it goes. Tried searching my manual and had no luck. Ill keep looking in the mean time. Thanks for any help.

Hmm. Ill look in my manual for the EGR, but where is the Charcoal Canister located? That thing in the picture? (it has red on it, that is the only canister I could find)

Thanks for the help.

It might be the one that goes down to your magic ball (cruise control vacuum reservoir) behind the driver-side fender.

yes thats it, and the EGR is on your manifolds, like a flat saucer thing and yes the canister is the black thing in the pictures with the red plug, should have three vacuum hoses going to it if i remember, been so long since iv pulled mine

Oh thank you, I know what your talking about now. I don't think it goes to my EGR because its way to short so it must go to my canister. Ill check tomorrow and ill give you guys an update.

The magic ball, hm I think that one already has a hose going to it. Its right next the the canister correct?
