Default Odd...thing in engine bay. I've never seen it before and I have no idea what it is

There's this odd ball-like thing in my engine bay with a wire running to it from the engine. It's a 1991 S-10 with a 2.8 and I just bought it.The ball think ison thedriver'sside on the bottom of the engine bay
This picture isn't of my engine bay, but there's the same thing on the passenger's side, behind the battery. What is it?

here is a pict of my old94 S10 (4.3 though)

It does not have cruise control, but it does have a similar Ball (attached to the hood/drivers side)

There's no way it could be a vacuum. It has one electrical wire running to it from the back of the engine. I think it's some sort of sensor, but I have no idea what kind.
