what is this?

This is the first Ford truck I have ever owned. What is this and what does it do? It has vacuum lines and a harness.
1999 2.5l engine.

Probably an EGR purge valve. Can't tell without a photo. The computer tells the purge valve when to empty the carbon canister fumes back into the intake manifold.

That is the EVR solenoid. The PCM sends it a PWM signal that causes it to pass a regulated vacuum (based on the PWM duty cycle) to open the EGR valve by a calibrated amount.

There's no such thing as an "EGR purge valve"

So the vacuum hose should be connected to the EGR valve?

One of the lines off the EVR solenoid goes to the EGR valve (probably green), the other goes to the manifold supply via whatever routing was intended. There should be a label somewhere under the hood with the vacuum schematic on it..
