That is a temperature senson for the emission control system. Look on the passenger side firewall and there is/was as solenoid with 2 vacuum lines and a wire harness plug. There is as switch on the transmission to sense high gear. The advance vacuum is cut off above a certain outside temp. when the transmission is in the lower gears.
