Since that looks like a check-valve there (in white) could it bee some kind of a blow off for too much positive pressure in the system?
I know nothing about the Millenia, but your post and pictures intrigued me.

Well, if anything else improves, like fuel mileage, smoothness and the like,and nothing seems to suffer, I would say plug it!!And be done w/it. If a definitiveanswer comes to you @ some point in time deal with it then.

I am allready getting over 30 mpg on the highway with it open. Tranny seems to shift smoother with it pluged. I know it is not there for nothing. It must need to end up somwhere. Some thing is not getting the vacuum it needs. [:@]

Some years' have them, I think. Going by what it looks like, it could be a "breather" tube to enable movement of the ABV, not normally under direct vacuum. If it is, it would indicate that the leak is coming from the ABV.
I'd do a test on the ABV to see if it holds it's position when a vacuum is applied. Best done with a vacuum pump of course but just sucking a bit of tube joined to the other port(s) might show the leak up.

Sorry, I'm talking rubbish - thinking of the EGR not the ABV....
