It is on the throttle body. While you are at it clean throttle plate on both sides with choke cleaner clean IAC hole as well.

Hey CROSSI46,

That looks like an EVAP control solenoid and wont have anything to do with the way the engine idles. Have you installed a new set of spark plugs and check for a vacuum leak, here are a couple of guides that can help.

Unfortunately you have a 1.8L which in the US is not available and the info I sent was for a 2.4L, dummy me for not looking. However I did look online and found what is in the pic that may lead in the right direction.
