What is this Solenoid?

I have a similar question posted on the "other" forum
Probably the same function but placed at another place (between FPR and manifold vacuum).
I know I don't control it with my DIYPNP, so it will work with it disconnected (or removed and direct connection from the FPR to the manifold).
But it might have a function for cold start or something (since the JDM don't have it on the same year, and they have/had other emission standards).

I was going to ask over at clubroadster in the 'wire tuck' thread, but thought I'd get more help over here since it's more Megasquirt related. Now it wouldn't seem that way, judging by the 2nd response.

Oh sorry, I actually do have "1994" in my sig, but I have no idea why it doesn't show up.
After emailing DIYautotune, they told me that it is not used by MS. And after more searching it does appear to be PRC solenoid, although I don't know how or why it is controlled by the stock ECU. Either way, I too am quite curious if this can be used as a boost control solenoid.

I've been trying to figure this out as well.
With the Link ECU, the vac lines from mine are disconnected so it's just sucking air.
Went searching then found this
from M.net
The '96/7 PRC solenoid is intended to prevent fuel in the rail from boiling by keeping the pressure high in a hot restart situation. The solenoid admits atmospheric pressure to the FPR, instead of manifold vacuum, for long enough to get overheated fuel back to the tank. During this time the ECU leans the mixture a few percent to allow for the increased pressure difference across the injectors.

PS: for others who may be reading this ... on a boosted car with a parallel engine management system that is not aware of the stock ECU's PRC period, you can run into trouble because the normal fuel pressure increase (with boost) is absent during the active PRC period, making your fuel tables too lean ... so don't do a "quick get-away" on a hot-restarted engine. This can also apply to '96/7 + AFPR set-ups if the AFPR vacuum hose is tee'd-off after the solenoid.
