Help Identifying Part

Hi, this is my first post here. I'm rebuilding a 2006 Escape

2.3L. Got everything put back together, got the engine dropped in, and then I find this small brown plastic part on the floor. Can someone tell me what it is? I have no idea, and the thought of tearing everything back down is driving me crazy. It's about an inch long, with a 1/4 in head on it. Thanks!

I've never had a 2.3L apart, but it looks like a pivot pin possibly related to the throttle or speed assist. Maybe a shift linkage pin?

I'm sure someone else here can tell you exactly where it belongs.
