It looks like one of the air filters from one of the Vacuum Relays on the "Rats Nest".

No, they are all the same colour, the filters aren't coloured. YES this could be the cause of your idle problems. Look harder at your rat's nest.

I just looked at my rat nest (have it in my store room) it's an 85 though, 4 of the 6 solenoids have those, one has it on the back side. I didn't know they were filters.
Yeah, I was refering to the colored stickers.
Doesn't sound like it would cause a problem unless the hole it left became plugged.
