Looks like the drain valve to me. To drain condensation from the AC. But i might be wrong. Sure someone will say what it is

It runs poorly because its a vacuum feed and its right under the idle control valve, from memory and im going back a long time, threes some gubbins one on the inner wings with vacuum pipes going to and from it, i think there should be a connection from that to that

It goes to the item in the second drawing on this page:

As Matt says it's on the wing - near to the inlet manifold.
Mine’s a corrugated pipe with a right angle rubber boot at the manifold end.

There should be a rubber elbow pushed onto that stub pipe,then a plastic tube to the evap valve as said,down low on the O/S inner wing.

I think you've found your solution - just block it off.
