We had to change out the radiator on our LS430, as well as the driver's side fan motor. When putting the parts back together we found a small hose by the air filter box without a male end to connect it to. I've attached two pics showing the hose. Can you possibly figure out where it fits? Greatly appreciate the help, Jon

That looks like it goes to the intake manifold. Can you please move the hose towards where it wants to go and upload more images, please? Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.
