Working on the 1997 5.7 Tahoe today I noticed what seems to be a rubber elbow missing a vaccuum line maybe??
Position is on passenger side of the intake manifold about halfway down.

What is this and what should be plugged into this?
Truck seems to be running/idleing perfectly.

Thanks

Ruled out its not the EGR valve, that's on the front of this engine.
Added a second pic for clarity. it has the blue connector on top, rubber elbow goes nowhere.


Can someone with a 1997 5.7 post up a pic of the passenger side intake manifold about halfway down so I can see where this leads.
Part is visible just above valve cover.
Thanks,
Tbruz
