I would do a search but I don't know what it is and what it does but I have a shaft with a ball clip that clips onto a ball but the plastic part is worn and comes loose. I just want to know what it is and how it works and what it effects if not hooked in.
Position of ball arm thingy
A closer shot.
My assistant mechanic was not much help either. Kept saying it was a fuse or something

That thing is a vacuum operated valve inside the manifold that helps throttle response at different RPM's I believe, seems to be called a vacuum cell. Hopefully it is the little arm that is the issue, not the part on the intake as that doesn't appear to be separate.

Update: Went for a drive yesterday and CEL came on. Checked the faults on my Torque app:
Cleared the fault codes and CEL stayed on then re tested for faults and same codes popped up. Went home, put a cable tie on the shaft to secure it to the ball, reset the faults and CEL went off. Retested afterwards and no fault codes. Went for a drive today and retested again because CEL does not always come on if there's faults I have noticed in the past with other cars as well but no faults found.
