This was on the top of my intake I assume it's emissions related ,if it is what's the best way to delete it? If it's something else or I need to keep it feel free to let me know. The motor is a 2003 LQ9 out of an Escalade.

EVAP purge solenoid. When using a factory engine vanity cover...I leave it.

If I leave it do I need to plug it with something or just leave it open to the elements? I'd rather remove it and plug the hole in the intake, if anybody knows a good remedy for doing this feel free to let me know.

The purge valve is normally closed. So, you can just remove the hose from it and leave the valve connected to the intake. You can also run a pipe tap in the hole and use a pipe plug to close it off. I can't remember off the top of my head if it's a 3/8 or 1/4 pipe tap, but its obvious because only one of those sizes will fit in the hole.

I removed it and bought a rubber oil plug from orylies. It works just like a rubber freeze plug but its only 1/2 round its like a mini. Looks a lot cleaner

I used an A/C compressor plug. It comes with a new A/C compressor outlet. I had one lying around. You cold probably just ask your local parts store to take one off a core. Good luck.
