When you turn the airbox to the red on the control the vacuum opens the valve allowing the coolant to flow. It's a redundant part they did away with in '97.

I looked at mine crosseyed and it snapped. Made from that same fine plastic that crack-happy radiator end tanks and the CCV grommets are, I presume.
