Where does his go under the IC???

I found this hose loose when replacing the belt tensioner, and I'm at a loss as to where it connects. I've pulled the intercooler looking for a a port to plug it, but I'm seeing nothing.

Anyone have a picture to where it connects since the drawings online don't show exactly where. It's #6 in this picture, the end where it has the 90 degree plug


Thanks!

That would be the fuel pressure regulator.

Not to be an idiot, but where is the port to plug it? Underneath the rail?

Here is another pic of the line, not sure it stretches as far as shown in your pic?

The engine is out of my car and I haven't played with vacuum hoses in a while...but yes, I see that it's the shorter one now. that's the one that goes under the horn then!

From another thread on here:

That's the EVAP line, it plugs into the little T (elbow) on line #4 in the diagram.

Thanks again @BlwnAway
I recently installed a boost gauge and noticed this line was kinked.
That line had degraded and I replaced it with a straight rubber tube a year ago. Unfortunately I made the length too long.and just now noticed the kink.
I forgot to fix it last weekend after running the Boost line
You have just reminded me of where it connects to and to go back and fix it.
