It seems you were right kene it does seem to go to the throttle body. Is this a cut to fit hose or do I need a special hose? What all do I have to remove to swap it out it seems like quite a bit just to replace that darn hose.

you should be able to find a cut to fit hose at your local pepboys(the rubber hose supplier for the autozone's here in CA are in a shortage, I went to 4 local autozones here in So-Cal and they all said the same thing. Someone made a massive spot purchase on certain sized hoses and the manufacturer is behind in stock) that has the matching inside diameter and hose clamp.(your stock clamp may or may not work on this new hose.)

Some people take the throttle body off to get to the hose, but get a long curved pair of needle nose pliers and you can get it off both ends relatively easy.

Well it turns out it was my water pump. Shortly after it started leaking water through the weep hole so I replaced the water pump and the timing belt. $230 parts and labor at a shop.
