It's a vacuum canister that holds vacuum so that under acceleration, you still have enough vacuum to keep the vents on you climate control from defaulting to defrost. Are you talking about the passenger side?

1. That is a vacuum reservoir. It is there to keep your vacuum-operated accessories (ie, HVAC controls) from being affected by varying manifold vacuum during different throttle operating conditions.
2. Your IAC valve is probably sticking closed. Cleaning itusually helps in the short term, replacement is usually needed to properly correct.

The vacuum reservoir is discontinued from Ford.
Since this thread is now 12 years old, they may have still been available new at the time of the previous post.
Unless you luck out and find a dealership that has one still in stock, your best bet is a salvage yard or ebay.
