Re: what is this part
What year/engine does your car have? About where did you remove it?
Looks like an EGR solenoid or something like that.

Re: what is this part
Never seen it - as asked - what year, engine, induction system - and what part of the car did that part come from?

Re: what is this part
Thats part of your emissions equipment, and is attached to your diverter valve (http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par.../N-iwkdyZ9gsn8). That part is certainly not the cause of your cooling fan issue. Even if that entire assembly was missing there wouldn't be a problem, it seems like maybe the temp sensor that turns your fans on is defective.
I am sure someone else can chime in on that, though.
(Oh, dont worry about that price on the diverter valve, I have no idea why it is so high when that part is virtually useless)

Re: what is this part
You have dual fans right? If so ...
Primary fan is controlled by the ECM. The ECM gets it's temps readings from the coolant temp sensor which is on the intake next to the thermostat housing - has 2 wires one black one yellow. This tells the ECM the temps, and the ECM turns on the fans.
If your primary fan runs always, channces are someone rigged it that way rather than replacing that CTS.
The seconday fan is controlled by the A/C - if your A/C or defrost is selected, then it will run always - so make sure your A/C and/or defrost is OFF.
The secondary fan is also controlled by the fan switch, which is located in the pass side head between #6 and #8 spark plug. It has a single wire to it, and it has a funny mushroom shaped connector.
DO NOT get this confused with the Knock Sensor, which is also on pass side and also has a single wire with the same funny mushroom shape connector - the Knock Senor is lower in the BLOCK, not in the head.
The ECM is programmed to run the primary fan starting at 218 degrees.
The fan switch is programmed to run the secondary fan at 238 degrees.
Good Luck!

Re: what is this part
fan swithc will not affect starting or running of the car. Bad relay might though - some fan re4lays are tied into the alternator wiring somehow - but I'm no expert on these systems..
