It was an emissions device. That spring controlled flap is operated by heat. The flap is closed when engine/outside air is cold to allow intake to draw in warmer air from heat exchanger. Opened up as engine warmed up. Your engine will run just fine without it. As to how to repair it, can't help you there.
