Another Photo Quiz

And for ten points, or a bottle of 1554, what is this tube, and should there be a hose on it? PS: it's a 94 6 spd.

It looks like the coolant inlet for the throttle body. If you are not leaking coolant the previous owner must have removed the hoses that allow coolant to run through the throttle body. This is used to heat up the throttle body in cold climates but it really isnt needed.

$15.54, I think that is what he pays for a Mason jar filled with white lightening.

A hose is T'd off the upper radiator hose for that side of the throttle body. The other side leads to a T in a coolant reservoir hose on the passenger side inner fender well.

Not critical in warm weather as noted above.
