Default What part is it?

Was removing the driver side cam cover and I had to move the part that sits above the rear of the cover to get it off, the little nipple broke off of it, " DOH!!" but I don`t know what it is,
It`s about the size of a city horn with a big fat bottle cap on top of it, has 3 hoses going to it, on top it has a number of LJA1515A11
PA66-GF33
Tried to google it and came up with nada.
I thought it was the fuel purge valve but not sure,
What part did I break???

Sorry Guy`s thought of something else right when I clicked.
Sparkplugs
Stock is .NGK Dbl Platinum PFR5G-13E @ $13.00 a piece
Can use NGK Iridium BKR5E1X-11 @$8.00
or NGK GP Platinum BKR5EGP @ $4.00
Besides how long they last ,What`s the differents of the 3
What`s the gain of a $13.00 plug from a $4.00 plug
thanks for all of the help

I broke the little plastic nipple off of the bottom of it.
It looks like a vacuum hose, It goes from the valve to the throttle body.
