    Found this on throttle body when engine out of car so took pic couldn’t see it with engine in place.the nipple looks like it has had a rubber tube fitted to it and snapped off. After engine put back in and engine running there seems to be a vacuum on it, the mfd display is working ok with tube feeding it in place near to servo pipe. Any ideas?

    It's one of the vac line take offs, sometimes used to feed the mfa for fuel economy, or else blocked off.
