that is the TPS - Throttle Position Control. i.e. how open or closed is the butterfly in the throttle body.
You need to measure the voltage coming from it, should be 0.7V at closed throttle and max of 4.5V at full throttle.

I think its an air opening to allow air in and out of the end chamber in the ISC cylinder... so it doesnt create a vacuum when it opens/closes...
