Where does this hose go

Where does the small hose from the bottom left of the throttle body go??? Its connected to a black plastic tube then back to a hose? Is it a vacum or summit It goes down and under the inlet, the top can be seen in the centre of the picture. Thanks Tom. http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/tom1234...

Wiring, its starting but not ticking over

Hi i have managed to get the engine to start, but it only runs for a bit, Have i missed a connection on the X20 wiring? I have searched through the wiring diagram and am beginning to feel lost :( Its a 540 manual from 94. If start it with the throttle open its fine, is there a choke of sorts? TIA Tom.
