Are you sure that it didn't pop off somewhere?
I am not familiar with all the vacum lives destinations off the top of my head.

I don't have my car here to look at now, but if there is a hose coming off of the ACV, then it's obviously there for a reason. I doubt you could "just take it off". Sounds like you need to view a color vacuum hose diagram. I think www.RX7TURBOTURBO.com has one. If not, do a search.

Are you sure you are talking about the ACV? I don't think there are any large hoses that go nowhere.

Are you talking about the line that comes off of the side of the airbox, goes torwards the bottom of the car, and just vents to atmosphere? Thats the only hose that I know of that goes nowhere.
