And, this cap that I lost, since it almost looks like a tire valve stem does that mean I can just put a little cap on it and twist it on to cover it? Looks like nothing will leak out of it unless you stick something in there to release some kind of pressure

Please take a picture of the front center of the engine, where the bleed is. It's somewhere off frame to the left of the pictures you took.
Yes, just put some sort of cap over the fuel pressure test port to keep dirt out of it.

It should be a plugged hose back by the master cylinder.
Yup. A bicycle tire cap should to. It's job is to keep dirt and junk out of the valve.

We've been down that road already. He's looking for the V6 engine air bleed, not the heater air bleed for the V8 and V6.

LS4me: that's the heater air bleed, which both the V8 and V6 have. We're currently hunting for the V6-only engine air bleed.
02v6ls: roll up to a parts store, pull someone out there, point at the fuel fitting and ask them for a cap. It has a schrader valve, like tires, so there's no harm to not having a cap. But you do want to keep crud out of there in case it needs to be used. If the stem is the same as a tire stem, then this will be really easy.

Take a picture of the same area as the top picture, but instead of taking it with the camera in front of the car, take it with the camera near the windshield, pointing towards the front of the engine.
Alternately, if you'd take a picture like the bottom one (with the air intake hose removed) but a little to the right, like the top picture.
It's sticking up on the tee section of the big radiator hose just behind and below the air intake hose.

so i just recently got back and i did find it thanks LS4me. So i tried to bleed it and nothing happened. Coolant didnt come out of the heated or the air bleed. Is there a reason why? I followed the steps and nothing came out.
