You mean the plug with the electrical connetor on it? I'm guessing TCS switch. Transmission controlled spark. Pollution doodad.

Yes, it's the TCS switch.
When the car is shifted into 4th gear, the switch is turned on, notifying the TCS relay which is mounted on the left top side of the firewall. The relay turns off the vacuum advance (for emission purposes).
Mine is disconnected. I'm probably polluting the air slightly more, but I didn't want to take the performance hit, however small.

For quick & easy photo-resizing if you run XP just install the Image Resizer PowerToy. You right-click over the pic and choose Resize Pictures. Will default to 640x480 but you can click other resolutions.
You can find the Power Toys here:

You can also resize pictures (more steps involved) using the MS Office Picture Manager. Select "Edit Pictures" then "Resize".
