Can anyone tell what this is???
Put a boost gauge on and found out i've been driving with only 12PSI for two years.
I learn that my vacumn lines for my WG Solenoid are not correct b/c of the previous owner(****). I have those on order. I do a boost test and find out that theres a leak in the Throttle Body somewhere on the right side and then I discover a piece that looks like its missing something can anyone tell me what this is for?

I could wrong about this, so someone can feel free to correct me...
The IACM controls the amount of air that's allow to enter the intake manifold when the throttle plate is closed, thereby helping to control idle speed.
Just having the physical electrical connector disconnected wouldn't cause it to leak boost by itself. However, I'm thinking that if the electrical connector to the IACM was disconnected and the motor was inactive and in an opened position that this might allow boost to leak out through the passage that would normally allow air to flow in during idle.
Not sure if this make sense or not... but it's just a thought.
Either way it would probably be a good idea to hook the connector back up and see what happens. Unfortunately the previous owner probably disconnected it because the motor was broken and he/she was too much of a a** hat to fix it properly.

To the OP, was it coming from the actual throttle body? or where the intake pipe meets the throttle body?
