What is this cylinder? Honda D16Y8 engine.

I recently bought a 1997 Honda Civic Ex with the D16Y8 engine. Today I was working on the windshield nozzle and tubing and came across this part and don't know exactly what it is. Haven't had much luck online. Facing the engine, it's at the back righthand side. In front of the driver's side. It's a black cylinder with two small black tubes attached to the top of the lid.

Not factory, some sort of vacuum reservoir?

Looks like the vacuum tank for the cruise control?

I think that's exactly what it is. I've never seen this diagram before. Thanks!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
