Are you thinking of an Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve ?? High vacuum at idle would hold the valve closed and it would open up with less vacuum and more RPM to help burn off unburnt gases from the cylinder. This was a bandage solution on 70's cars and most folks pulled the vacuum line off and plugged it with a golf T.
