Looks like a carbon cannister? Never seen a Nova one lol

If it is it's just some ghey thing the tank breathes into in an event to control the fuel vapours.

Bin it.

Block off all the pipes apart from the one comming from the fuel tank.

One of them off the throttle body makes a small air leak i belive. I know there was a differance of revs with it blocked and unblockd on mine.

Edit: I belive it came on all the spis with cats (Which i belive is all? lol)

Don't block the the vent line from the fuel tank!!! It'll cause it to vacuum, take the lineup the filler neck and loop it over and run it down a little - stops any major leakage should you put the car on the roof.

Block the pipe to the throttle body/inlet, as above it'll cause an air leak otherwise.
