Coolant themorstat. very inexpensive item. don't drive without it.

The gooey stuff is wax and when it melts it opens a valve. Kinda cool how it works.

I dont think it's the thermostat. It's got a vacuum line running to it. Pretty sure it has something to do with the exhaust.

Looks like an air/smog pump check valve.
