Mystery blue connector on passenger side near intake

Hello Ranger Forum,

I am working on replacing my valve cover gaskets on my 1999 ford ranger xlt 4.0L v6. I was watching a video and noticed that my ranger is missing a connector or wire. In the video kinda below the coil pack closer to the front of the engine there's something blue connecting to the top of the engine. Any clue what this may be? Tried looking up some diagrams but no luck

His (video):

Update -- For those curious, I think it is a Schrader Valve on the Fuel Rail for testing fuel pressure!

Scooter-Dooley, yes, It's the Schrader valve. It's on the fuel rail and is used for testing fuel pressure
