I think that's the AACV, which is one of two valves that control the amount of air the engine gets at idle. It opens to let in more air when cold so that the engine will warm up faster.

Yes correct...I had to replace that AACV while I had the engine apart. It should have a long hose that attaches to the driver's side of the throttle body. The hose in the picture was broken off. This valve's main function is for controlling idle while cold until engine is at normal temp.
