Yes it's acctually a noise suppresor, and your doing is crushing the suppresion stuff to make it crumble apart and fall off the wire. As the directions say "don't break the wire, or you will have to replace the ECM". The TSB states that if a customer comes in with a complaint of hesitation that it's a normal thing and it's just the ECM doiing it's thing, but if the costomer isn't happy with that answer to do the crush mod. Now I think I always had the hesitation but with the auto it seemed like more of a tranny thing, after I did the 5 speed swap the hesitation became a noticable and annoying engine thing. I belive the crush mod is a must for anyone with a 5 speed and that it can't hurt for anyone with an auto either. Just Do It.
P.S. Shot King, I think you might be the first person here to have any idea where I got that from.

Pics in my locker of the ECU location and internals - some may not have the bead in there to crush. This is a great mod - one of the first I did on mine shortly after buying it.

Hmm... I don't have the tan and the other resistor... Does this mean I don't have the hesitation problem? Or just that I can't do anything about it??? Thanks!!!

My wifes 92 did not have them either - see the pic in my locker. But her's did have a chip in the slot where mine was empty. Her svx was manufactured 6/91 and it does not hesitate a bit - looks identical to the ECU you have in your locker.

Crap, I just pulled my ECU, and opened it, and I have the Bead-less model, but with the tan resistor cut. So I guess thats why I don't feel the hesitation. see my locker.
BTW, I looked in the ECU before reading the above 2 posts, and wet myself, thinking some-one cut the tan resistor by mistake. But its apparently normal. Good to know. Oh Well, no bead crush mod for me.

Hmm' mines a 5/91 and had the noise supressor and had the chip with no tan resistor. Another interesting thing on the TSB is that it says if you have the chip the tan resistor should be cut. It seems like the chip would be important and should be in every ECU. I wonder why they made so many variations of the same ECU? It also says that if there is a black dot next to the part # on the ECU that it won't have the noise supressor so don't bother opening it. Maybe I should have mentioned that earlier.

I may have to investigate this for my SVX. It has a hesitation just off idle when accelerating from a stop. I doubt the mod has been done to it yet. I hope it works for me.

I did it to both my cars(92s). On the black one, it made a huge difference. On my yellow one, it made no difference. Both ECUs were the same model #, the rarest of the bunch. So results may vary.

I posted a How-To last night in the Documents on how to do this.

Good job on the how-to, Earl. Pretty soon we'll have our own version of the service manual with all the how-to documents that have been written!

Now I am trying to put them into folders so it will be easier to get to the ones you want.
