Found a sensor that I think should be in the motor.... What is this?!?!

Um.... I'm bolting all the pieces back to my rebuilt 22re and I found a sensor.... well more of a vent it seems... Another item that I need to find a home for. But, the problem is that I think the engine shop closed up the hole it's supposed to go in. Here's a picture: .

I think it goes on the driver side toward the rear. What does it do and how important is it.

Thanks!
Steve

Anybody know? I'd like to break-in the motor tomorrow after I cut down my 3.8L Taurus Fan.

Thanks QIKRUNR! I think the fuel rail might be the right call. I'll have to go find it's home.

2wd1stGen: It can't be a sensor because it doesn't have any wires going to it.

hard to tell from the picture, but I'm pretty positive. I am a Toyota tech and I have seen more than my share of these engines.

My bad but the tread was called ""Found a sensor that I think should be in the motor.... What is this?!?! "

Sweet, it goes at the front (closest to radiator) side of the rail! Thanks!
