Leaking engine? Cracked hoses? Or something worse....

Hiya folks. Been with my gtt for a little while and problems have been popping up but I've been getting those fixed as soon as possible. Had the ac compressor replaced last week and everything has been running fine until today.

Went out in the afternoon and found that the car was going through some really rough idling. Usually its at 1300rpm but today was going up and down between 2500 and 1800. Oil temperature went wayyy up in the 100+ usually its at 70 - 90. 

Pulled over and had a look under the hood. Looked near the back of the engine towards the firewall and saw that a plug or a nozzle had cracked or popped. Not entirely sure what it is... Seeing if anybody here has experienced anything similar.. Or any idea whats going on with this. Any help is much appreciated.

It's a cap, because someone has blocked off your heater setup. Either replace all of the caps, because they look crap, or put the hoses back to make the heater operational

Why does your car normally idle so crazy high?

Ahh, icic, will be getting it replaced today then, along with the other one :) appreciate the clarification. I know the hoses were removed because im told the previous owner had some leakage problems. Not too sure why it idles high but have been trying to figure everything out since i got her earlier this year :)  Thanks again.

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
