That would be your IAT sensor or Intake air temperature sensor. I broke off the plastic piece as well but the blue piece (the actual sensor wasn't touched) and I haven't had a CEL due to it and that was months ago. It was cold out and yes I am ashamed. Should be fine for 50 miles but may cause some drivability issues. I have to admit I'm at a loss as I have only seen failed IAT sensors on non adaptive ECMs.
