Thanks in advance for any and all help.
That is a EGR valve which is a emissions component, if you don't have any emissions insepction I would take it off. They make a block off plate for it. Some might argue to not take it off but it looks like its been unplugged so its probably froze up by now. Tread lightly as it is a federal law that just because you don't have emissions inspection doesn't mean you can take emissions components off.
