I'm trying to figure out what should be connected to these two hose spots on the 2.4 intake manifold. One had nothing on it and the one on the right had a stubby hose that was open and not connected to anything. Can I just plug these or are they supposed to be connected to something else? I don't need them open pulling unfiltered air into the manifold or causing other issues.

Which one is which is your fun...this is from the '03 service manual available in the resource section here.

Thanks! With this and a bit more digging I think I figured it out. I had the connections tucked out of the way while I did an engine swap and didn't notice them. My short- term memory isn't always the best!
