I saw this today on the driver's side engine. Sucks in air. When I covered it with my finger, the idle would drop. Can't remember if I've seen this before.
What should I do?

Well, it is certainly a vacuum port ... now you gotta find the other end of the hose circuit. Is that at the base of the intake manifold?

Yea that's for the cruise control if dodge dude was correct, my send old was hooked to that. It has one on both banks of the intake in the same spot. My idle use to flucuate from 600-1100 badly and I called those off and it sits at 650 smooth.

When I plugged the hole with my finger, the.idle dropped. Unless my idle is running too high now.
