You're going to have to explain what the hell that is. Your description doesn't tell us anything.

If it looks like that, you can drive it safely till you get a replacement as long as coolant isn't leaking out of it. That is the thermal or bimetallic vacuum valve for the the EVAP system.

Don't worry. It threw me for a loop too. I was thinking about those bimetallic valves for those thermostatic air cleaners. Then I remembered one of our older customers had Toy around the same year with the 5S in it. Every time I changed his oil, I tried selling that BVSV near the thermostat housing cause it was broken. Every time it was nope..its running fine. Guy was loaded too.

LOL, it would have been a lot clearer if he just called it a thermal vacuum switch
