Default 03 Ford Explorer XLT v8 4.6 Vacuum Hose Questions

I just purchased a used 03 Ford Explorer and I am having a hard time locating where this vacuum hose goes to. Do you have any videos or diagrams that can help me? I cant locate the where the white hose connects to.

It would help if you could tell us where the hose originates (where the other end is connected to) . You have 2 areas circled, please tell us where the connected ends are connected to, thanks.

I believe it is connected to the throttle body. I have a video of it. Should I upload it?

One thing we can do is; the one end you have, does it have a clean cut end or possibly broken edge?
The condition of the edge can tell us if it broke apart from another part of the line, or maybe came off a connector.

Also, the loose end is only so long and has to go someplace within that area that the line can reach, so just move it around to where it reaches and look for an open hole.or another piece of that colored line that isn't connected to anything.
