Angry throttle body fitting confusion

on the bottom of my throttle body, there is what appears to be a water fitting. i labeled everything when i took the head off. i cant find what hose goes there. i have yet to put my cai back on, and i know theres a hose on it, but i believe it goes to the valve cover. wtf is the fitting on the throttle body? is it possible it wasnt hooked up? i dont understand...

here is a pic. i know its obscured, but there is a water fitting nipple do-lollie on there. i cannot find the hose that attaches to it, and where the other end would attach. my b20 manual is useless. the pics were drawn my 3rd graders.

im confused still. are those b series engines? if u stand on the pass side of my cr and look @ the throttle body, the butterfly is facing u. directly below it is a fitting sticking out towards the head. i think the first pic kinda shows it, but idk where the other end goes. im racking my brain. i thought i labeled everything...

scroll down to see the intake man. check the fitting stickin out below the throttle body. my intake is aftermarket so its a little different. same concept tho...

is it possible.... that it is the fast idle thermo valve? my manual sez something about it only being used on an auto trans. my car is a manny tranny... i hope that is what it is. i KNOW i labeled everything...

it sounds like the fitv
and the hondas ive owned were 5spd and both have had an FITV but they were EG and EF
i think they stopped them either at EK's or EP's
what year is the b20 from?
