Although I didn't see it in context, I would have to say All Wheel Steering like that found on some older passenger cars and I think a new Ford truck.

If you want to see a good example of all wheel steering on a modern car you can look at the 99' 3000 GT VR-4. The rear wheels turn the same direction as the front wheels at speeds over 35 or 40 mph. I think it turns up to 15 or 20 degrees too. I was looking into buying one a couple years ago it it made me think that there was just one more thing to go wrong on such a already complicated car.

Accelerated warm-up system.

It brings the idle of your FD up to 3000rpm when cold, if you put the car in gear (manual trans) or blip the throttle when it first starts it will disable it. I removed my AWS solenoid and pipe, it is NOT part of a non-seq conversion, it has nothing to do with it. The ECU doesn't care if it is there or not.

all wheel steering, LOL...

Take the upper intake off, the AWS solenoid is mounted under it closer to the throttle body than the other side. THere is also a AWS pipe that goes to the intake elbow, the two are right next to each other.

ok but when you remove the upper manifold, does it come on the manifold or does it stays in the car?

any particular color for that?
