Yeah it's pretty damn important.

Or I take that back, it might not be that...

Where's it located? The fuel pump bypass is by the passenger side strut tower.

Yea it looks like the fuel pump test plug. I've never seen that protective plastic around it though. Easy way to test is to ground it and turn the key to the ON position and listen for the fuel pump. If it goes on then you know what it is.
