To throw a curve ball...Ford changed the vacuum lines up if your car was built after 8/25/16 (check your driver's door sticker for build date). You may not have a line at all and you were correct when you capped the extra one off.

Can you take a pic of the STOCK air intake tube or count how many total ports there are? I bet only 3 total if I'm correct. Prior to 8/24/16, there was 4 total.

Nice find!

Just in case anyone runs into the same issue with this CAI, these are the caps I purchased at Napa. They go on just right along with a small clamp to to keep it on tight.

Get yourself a blind grommet and you can remove the fitting all together. The blind grommet will be the same as a regular grommet except it has no hole in the center.

I can't seem to find it. Is it something I can find at autozone / advanced auto parts? Would you mind linking me to the exact piece you bought so I can show it to them?

I didn't have to buy one. The Air raid intakes come with one in the parts kit.

Check eBay or Amazon or just Google blind grommet.

It's a 1/2" or 3/16" I can't remember off the top of my head.

I went to advanced auto parts and the CEL turned out to be "(Bank 2, System too lean)" which I briefly looked up and means too much oxygen in the exhaust. The light turned off after he reset it but came back on about an hour later. Any idea what it could be and how I can fix it? A tune is not required with this CAÍ.

I figured out what I did wrong, thanks to this: https://support.bamaperformance.com/hc/en-us/articles/201811715-Common-check-engine-lights

Cold Air Intake
P0171/P0174 – System Too Lean (Bank 1 & 2)
This can also be present from an exhaust leak before/after the O2 sensors. If you just installed headers or exhaust, please check for leaks.

This is most common for 2005+ Ford vehicles equipped with aftermarket cold air intake systems (CAI’s). Many CAI manufacturers will install “reduction sleeves” inside the cold air intake to eliminate the need for aftermarket tuning. This code will usually appear if you assumed the insert was still installed when it has been removed.
It is important to ensure that you verify if the sleeve/insert is installed or if it has been removed when completing your tuning specifications form so that a Bama Tuning Experience Specialist makes the proper adjustments to your custom tunes.

When I installed the CAI, I left the "Sleeve" out thinking I wouldn't need it, leading to it sucking in too much air and requiring a Tune. Reason for the CEL. If you purchase my CAI and don't want to tune your car, make sure to include this sleeve in there. Keep in mind thought it wont be much of an upgrade from the stock intake.
