It's the idle air control valve, probably unplugged because the last owner was using manual idle control.

Question Search??

Any reason why the OP cannot search? Rather than post a what is this?

I believe the actual name is Idle Speed Contor (ISC) and is located on F-83 of the Factory Service Manual (hint, hint, hint)

^^^^

It is on the upper intake manifold (technically called the surge tank). It is not that hard to search. With an FSM, it would take a few minutes to look at the upper intake manifold (surge tank) to see what it is. A simple search with upper intake manifold turned up this thread:

A lot of owners would rather have someone "spoon feed" them info vice them taking a little time to search on their own.

This car is 20 years old and 99.9% of the info has been covered before. It just takes a little bit of "wanting to help yourself" before asking others.

Off my soapbox now...

Wow man. Really? I've been here over 10 years. This is my third rotary. I don't appreciate your assumption that I need "spoon feeding".

Its a bit hard to search for something I don't know what its called. It took me forever just to find a useful pic of the back of the manifold. I even searched onlinemazdaparts for a schematic with no luck.
