Idle gone crazy!

Just came back from the missus this morning...
Start the car...unusually heard a soft "puck" noise while the engine kicked over and started. I thort it was maybe a backfire or a miss-spark.
Drove down the road and noticed my idling was off by 1.
Not only that, but when the car was moving and the gear in neutral, it would rev back and forth by 500rpm..until i came to a complete stop when it would rev to 2 instead of 1.
I pulled over, and inspected wot the problem could be.
I found that there was a hissing/sucking noise comming from the throttle body.
To be more specific, it came from a tiny L-shaped piece of metal directly to the right of the throttle body. Above this little port, about 1cm away, was another 1 but it had a pipe comming from it...
So i looked around for maybe a loose pipe (i thort it was the breather for the air intake but it wasnt - or at least i dont think it was)but i couldnt find anything...
I looked around the manifold and found several other same L-shaped ports, some with hoses comming from them, some with just a hard plastic plug.
Im just wondering is the one that i saw exposed suppose to have a plug or a pipe connected to it...and how the heck it feel off in the first place!
