On my throttle body near the wires there is a small pipe sticking out, and there is a little rubber hose that attaches to it. The rubber hose is way too big to fit over the Tbody piece, it just sits loose. Should I be taking care of this? Thanks for any help.
What is this connector on the T-Body?

throttle body? you mean the tube over by the intake manifold? comes out of the exhaust manifold below it? Or something else?
edit: oh, never mind. the rubber tube. no idea.

Yeah I noticed it when I was installing the Autotech module. It's a little pipe about an inch long, and 1/4 inch diameter that is sticking out of the throttle body, pointing toward the passenger headlight. On the piece that is supposed to be attached to it, there is a round connector with a white cable going along the intake tube, an electrical connector, and a little rubber "L" pipe that is supposed to be attached to the t-body. It looks like some vacuum sensor, it hasn't been connected for months.

HaHaHa!! I thought it was going to magically fix all the problems on the car. Yeah, the upshift indicator hasn't been flashing for a while now, it's right on top of my to do list. Thanks http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Actually, that stupid switch can cause a lot of problems. The upshift indicator itself is useless of course, but that switch is part of the vacuum system, so when it falls off like that, you have a vacuum leak.

I've pondered removing mine entirely and plugging it up, but then I'd feel obligated to mod my dash instruments to have something else there.
