It is a solinoid valve that lets in a little more idle air when the AC is running. Without it there is about 100rpm drop with the AC on.

Thanks for the explanation Karl

So I assume that all model years have the valve but some placed somewhere else.

more like all pre LH cars including 80-84 USA. Those with no idle stabilizer and computer controlled idle speed.
