If you get snow in your area, just leave it alone. That is the Subzero canister. If you remove it. There will be a nipple on the inner middle of lower intake manifold that will need to be blocked.

That is the sub zero start assist. What is suppose to go in there is a 80% anti freeze 20% water mix. Mazda has a service bulletin to remove/disable the system. Like said before, if you remove it there is a vac line that needs to be capped.
