oops...whats the name of this sensor

I was making a custom intake for my car earlier today and dropped that stupid sensor on the ground. Its small and threads into the side of the air "box" i guess you would call it. Well i was about to figure out where to drill and thread a new spot into the custom intake and dropped the thing on the ground. Whats the name of this sensor? I think its air flow sensor or something. All i know is without it the motor wants to rev high as soon as you start it. I have to pick one up tomorrow from the store...please help.
