I think its where the Canister connects into, if your car has a Catalytic Converter, if you don't have one, that connector is blanked off. This is a very common question, which pops up on here.

One one the right in your pic goes to pressure regulator, originally a black hose, the one on the left is blanked for a non cat and the other is what TPS said above. Or a turbo vacuum line :twisted:
