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.
