This is a very technical electrical nomenclature for things over your
pretty little head, Mr. Squirrel.    grin

In case you weren't being  factious here is the very technical
description:

It is the factory issued wiring/capacitor thingy that plugs into the
harness at the AFM to resolve the vanagon syndrome.  I added 1 to my
84  1.9 & have not had the problema since.

Please correct moi if I have misrepresented the facts.

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-patch/smatch/hatch/snatch?
