know what this is?

I started to have issues while driving. it is as if a 1000lb gorilla sat on the front hood... http://www.topbb.com...sportscarfrenzy this link is for SportsCarFrenzy, a car club out of Knoxville, TN area that I have friends in but just a few of us in the club are rotary, and the link will explain my issue. (im known as SentraLoser in the SCF forums)
im trying to find out if this that i am pointing at would be the cause of my issues and not so much as a result of a fuel addative. i noticed the 'thing' that im pointing at had come off, looks like by force from the previous owner. It popped right back into place at or about the same time the gorilla got off my front hood LoL.
Update: Ive driven the car about 800+miles and so far it runs as if it were brand new.. just more curious now then anything if that plug in would have been the cause

It's the baro sensor. Measures air pressure.

Yes it could affect the way the car runs.

That's a new one. It must have gotten hit or something. Try www.revvinsevens.com or www.mazmart.com for a used one.
