what is this solenoid? and what does it do?

89 f150 302 A0D 2WD

there is a solenoid bolted just below and in front of the ignition coil that has 2 vac lines going to it. one line is hooked up to the vac source and the other runs off to somewhere i forgot. i tested this assembly and it's not holding vac. what is this solenoid? and is it supposed to hold vac?

would this be a source for a higher idle vac leak?<!-- / message -->

Yes, it could be the source of your vaccum leak. It's part of the emissions system.
