You will probably find it is for a servo pipe, although if blanked off you may have a car with abs?, the fitting is usually a quick release coupling which you push a release collar to let the pipe come free, or the blanking plug whichever is fitted. If the collar is still in there it may grab a piece of hard plastic servo pipe from most fords which can then be blanked off.

I just glued the plug thingy in with araldite. You could plug the hole with chemical metal, which is a lot easier than drilling and tapping.

I was going to suggest chemical metal too. It's what i used for the injector holes on my throttle bodies.

I found the putty type works alot better than the stuff in a tube.
