No, that's the A/C "extra air in to compensate for the drag of the A/C belt thingy".

"extra air in to compensate for the drag of the A/C belt when you turn the A/C on thingy" I mean. I'm assuming that the car came out with A/C.

Auxiliary Air Solenoid. Energized when the A/C compressor clutch is energized. Allows additional airflow into the intake to compensate for the additional mechanical load from the A/C compressor.
