Can someone tell me what this is???

I have no idea what this is. I was tinkering and checking out how stuff worked and started to take the throttle cable system apart and this was underneath it. I took of a harness on the bottom but now theres this other connection on it that seems to be compressed with air when i start to remove it. Anyone know what this is?

[dsm4444]

I don't think it's the cruise control. Here is my cruise control on my 95 NT...

They're both components of cruise...

Haha oh well. Thats about the only thing I haven't touched under my hood .

ok well we've established it has to do with cruise but why is there a compression of air in one of the lines leading to it?

because its vacuum controlled

THANK YOU! haha i was waiting for an answer like that. Thanks. so it shouldnt hurt it to take off that hose? It'll just regain pressure when the car is started right?

well, you can take it off just make sure you cap off the vacuum port it goes to, otherwise you'll lose "pressure" aka vacuum. thus creating a vacuum leak/boost leak and thats no good!
