Its a vacuum switch. Take it out and go to a parts store to match it up.

It is a thermal vacuum switch and matching the color is important. Such switches comes in two configuration.

1. Both hoses are able to allow air to pass through when coolant temperature is low and air passage is blocked when certain operating temperature is breach.

2. Opposite of the first, cold = no air flow, hot = air flow.
