Difficult to say with the pic, Might be some sort of vacuumcan or regulator

Its that thingy you get to controll the butterflies on the Inlet manifold on a jap spec head!

i Know coz iv'e now got one. Just leave it disconnected. our cars didnt come with the solinoid or the functionality on the ECU to controll it.

It is currently connected, always was......if I disconnect it won't it screw up something?

here's my advice:

now you know what it is.
you also know that its useless.

and here's the best part:

now you can rip it out, and throw it away.

ask freddie what my engine bay is missing. and my CA still runs occasionally!!!!
