A temporary fix I did was fold aluminum foil over itself until it was 4-6 layers thick, made sure there were no edge pieces that would be sitting over the intake hole and used a hose clamp to secure it.

Just did this so I can move the car 30 feet, did not have vacuum cap at the time. Call it what you will but was better then nothing.

If I was only moving it 30 feet I would of left it open, at the most put a piece of tape over it but thats me.

I tapped mine out and stuck a small bolt in there with like some sealer stuff on it then hose clamped it. That's been working good.
