What is this part called?

[MCD04EB]

Hey everyone, got a question for you all. This may be a stupid question but i do not know what this part is

it is located here..

The left side of the engine right below the brake master cylinder.
The top hose is cracked right where it connects to this thing and its causing rough idle and what not. If you guys could help me out i would greatly appreciate it!
I circled where the crack is

Hey everyone, I have another question concerning this EVAP solenoid.
I was on ebay and found an EVAP solenoid valve for a 4.0 mustang, and I know most parts for the mustang aren't compatible for the explorer.
This part looks just like the part on my Ex.
would this work?

Or there is this one that has the correct fittings but it doesn't have the top cap part.

I'm not sure which part I should look into getting.
Thank you all for your help!

Cross reference the part on Fordparts.com and you will know for sure. Why not just get the part number and call your local ford dealer to get it there. Sometimes on ebay you end up paying more for the part than you would an OEM part from your local dealer.

Thanks man. this is probably dumb but I wasn't exactly sure where on the part to find the part #.....

Nevermind, found the part number: PA66-GF14

My 2 cents, but I believe that the part is called an evaporator canister purge valve. This is a quick part that I found that looks about right.

Looks like you found the part number... good luck, messing with the AC system is always a PITA.

Thanks Gibby. I went onto rock auto and I found the exact part, and I was looking under my vehicle. Part # 2m1068, on Rockauto it is $35 though. Thanks for your help Gibby!
