It goes to the underside of the air filter housing.

it's the advance pipe from the distributor, connects to the carb at
one end and the distributor advance at the other.

Its an injection car so no carb and no vac advance on the dizzy???

It is a vacuum advance pipe. Goes from the bottom of the ECU to the inlet manifold.

At an educated guess, it should go onto the bottom of the ECU. Does the engine run well?

It goes to the underside of the air filter housing.

Disregard my reply. I didn't look hard enough. I thought this tube was the one that comes off the top of the air filter housing.

FWIW, there are four vacuum lines:

ECU to Fuel Trap
Fuel Trap to back of Throttle Body
Underside of Air Filter to back of Throttle Body
Underside of Air Filter to top of Throttle Body.

Thanks could this be the cause of all my problems with the car not running right.
