This is the "throttle hang" fix, some v6's have a weird tendency to rev pretty high when just idling for no apparent reason. I don't remember the specifics of the problem but this fixes it on alot of cars. Some cougars came from the factory with really long, coiled hoses in place of that one you found the copper cap in, has the same effect.
