    What is this thing that's next to the MAF sensor?



    EDIT:

    Ok, thanks for those who figured it's a purge valve! But is it actually needed to run? IE will the computer freak out if i leave it in atmosphere? Thank you!

    Looks like a purge valve for the charcoal canister. Goes between the intake manifold and charcoal canister.

          Then you're in the wrong forum. :D

          Thanks, is it actually needed to run though? In my other car i've deleted my canister, donno if it'll freak out this device or something though.

          Thanks! :D
