that plug is use to connect to a solenoid. and that solenoid controls the vacuum line that goes from the throttle body to the VFAD flap.

if you have AEM you can leave it like that. (disconnected)

hang it onto the MAF wire. you dont want that thing to keep swinging around in your engine bay

If staying in the current configuration, why wouldn't you just yank the whole VFAD out?
