It's probably IAC. Idle Air Control. Just swap it out, it's not worth cleaning if it's only $15

An iaT is cheap, an iaC is around $50.

If it's just the passenger side manifold, then a competent welder can repair it and make it better than the original design fairly easy. It's just a matter of welding it on the backside of the flange as opposed to the inside.

I'm curious as to what would have caused that one to fail. I honestly have no clue how much it would be to have repaired, I fixed mine in my garage lol
