As I stated earlier, racers are creative and there are many ways to skin a cat. (Sorry Cat Lovers... )

Is this the selenoid that opened the throttle a little when the AC was turned on,to maintain idle speed?
I knew a racer years ago that had one of these on a stocker,but I think he was using it for a staging device. Flip a switch and it holds the throttle open for you.
