Can someone please identify this wire connection on top of motor, seems to not be connected to anything or anything plugged into it ???

It’s a vent for the intake flap. Look for the bulb on the driver side of the intake manifold - that’s where it goes to. If you look on the back side of that vent it’s an 8 or so sided star filter.

Thanks, It had broken plastic pieces come out of the other side.

Yes it degrades after awhile it seems. White pieces would be filter material.

You wouldn't happen to know the part number so I could replace it ?

Should be this guy. They reference another kit which just includes the screw if you think you need it as well.

Ours didn’t come with it, having the previous problematic intake. It was part of the update, only reason I’d know what it is.
