At a guess, advance/retard

At a guess, advance/retard vacume pipe from carb / throtel body. Not sure if timing is controled mecanicly or by the ECU on the injection modles. Could be that (if yours is an injection) that this is where the vacume pipe would go on a carb modle.
Does it mess about more as you try to put more power on? That would sugest that the timing may not being adjusting as the revs climb. Not something I've needed to play with on this car, so working from general knolage, rather than specific I'm afraid.
