I don't know how it came unplugged but I noticed it when I was installing my ported IM.
I posted this in General Discussions but probably should have put it here.

Looks like the bolt that holds it in came out, unless you took it out? And yes like King said its the EVAP "purge" solenoid, so it turns out occasionally and the motor will suck fumes out of a charcoal canister until its empty near the fuel tank. The canister is to let the fuel tank vent and the charcoal captures the fumes so they don't go to the atmosphere and instead get burned as fuel in the motor.
