what is this? 2 pictures included

Hi all,
I hope anybody could help. I am sure is easy for most of you, but I have not been able to find it in my service manual.


In the 1st picture, I am trying to find out what is the part that yellow connector is connecting to and the small broken tubing below my finger. I tried to move it and broke. The 2nd picture is the end of it. The previous owner had placed a screw on it.


Thanks in advanced!

Throttle Body/ Carburetor base area. Should be a port for it. The real question is WHY is it plugged? Look to see if the Service Engine Light is working by turning on the ignition BUT don't start it.. To see if its disconnected or bulb removed

CEL is on, and flashes a code 14. I am waiting to replace the engine coolant temp sensor this week which it was removed by the previous owner. Once I replace I will re-check the CEL. I have a feeling it will flash some other code.
