The mystery is SOLVED! ;)
This is a top piece broken off
of the idle air adjustment plugs. They should not be even touched on
our engines and we have all heard the comment that they should be LIGHTLY
tightened all the way down. It's one of two bank adjustment plugs. There is one
more but it is slightly different and it wouldn't have broken off like
this.
Mike, there's nothing to worry about. The remaining
part is still doing it's job and as I've said this plugs are not used in our
engines. The idle speed motor is used instead.
Look at the intake right where the butterfly
assembly is and you should now see one similar part, one that is the same
diameter all the way down and one hole that is plugged with the remaining part
of this plug.
Mike sent me a picture and I was able to identify
the part right away.
