Need identity (what is this part? See pic)

[djmarch]

Can someone tell what the canister with electrical connector going to it is ? It's black, about 2-3 inches in diameter and about 4-5 inches long, mounted vertically against the firewall next to the brake booster and reservoir ? I can't seem to identify it on any googled diagrams.

Thanks in advance.

You mean this?

[djmarch]

Yes...That.

[MetroMPG]

Nope.

But I was hoping by posting the pic that somebody else could.

On an older car, I would have said it's an ignition coil, but that's obviously wrong. Second guess was a canister for evaporative emissions, but it doesn't have enough plumbing to/from it.

Hopefully someone will chime in.

Where do the hoses go that connect to it? Its hard to see from the picture.
