    Can someone tell me what function this has on a car?
    I've tried google but I can't find an answer, It plugs in near the ignition coil and a wire coming out of it attaches to the engine block.

    Stops electrical interference from the ignition coil from affecting the cars ECU and radio. It's a big capacitor.

    Its basically a capacitor. It is used to reduce interference from switching circuits or prevent "points" from arcing / burning out.
