I don't know what its called or what it does. If someone can point me on the right direction I would really appreciate.

It is missing whatever it's supposed to connect to it. It is next to the coolant return hose.

its a temp switch for your smog system, if you dont live in a state where smog is required , most folks remove the hoses and run them direct. usually doesnt let the fresh air door on your air cleaner open till the engine reaches a pre determined temp.

Ok, thats good to know. I bought the car with full exhaust system including headers. I am just making sure everything is correct so I can get into fixing the high idle speed.
Does the hoses that were supposed to go to such switch need to be plugged? They have been removed so I would need to figure out where they go.

that doesnt need to be plugged, but the places that hook up to it are usually either plugged or have a hose directly connecting them. if you are running an aftermarket air cleaner plug every port you dont need
