Thats a check valve. Get it from www.ecstuning.com even after shipping it should be less than what it would cost at the dealer. And daaaaaamn, that part is like the "failure of the month" for everyone.
Actually get it here: http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=1566
Shipping is always less than ecs.

NICE!!!!!! Except they left at least one valve out of that article, the one I just replaced last week is not shown in that thread. It looks like the regular check valves that there are 4 of, but has a nipple on the side for a 3rd connection. (Different engine code mayhave something to do with it) Butits located here:
