Default Removed AIR today but need help.

I decided to remove the AIR emissions today and everything went smooth except for the thing that needs plugged on the intake.

Can anyone give me a picture or describe what it looks like?

The only thing I saw was a little black plastic tubing coming from the back on the engine. Is this the right thing to plug? The black tube connects to this plastic connector that I removed with all the tubing.

the little black plastic tubing on the back of the engine is the piece you need to plug. it goes to a tee off the back of the manifold.

put some RTV in the tubing and you're good to go. Leaving that unplugged can cause misfires and bad running.

you could do like me and eliminate the hose. i ripped the t off the intake and got a coupler to run it over to the connector next to the computer.

I saw a small rubber T fitting that I plugged with a screw but it was located near the back of the driver side fuel rail/cylinder head. After I plugged that one I still had an exhaust leak.

Is this the correct one or is it farther back directly behind the intake manifold?
The one I plugged looks just like the rubber fitting on the top of that plastic connector in my first post.
