Pumps air into the exhaust at warm-up, to light off the catalyst as quick as possible.
Sounds like one of those Dustbuster vacuums - if you hear it run for more than one minute at startup, there could be a problem.

(trivia - look at the sign on the wiring connector - check out who made the pump?)

That's what it is....the air pump.
Did you not click on the attachment in the 2nd reply from Spin9k that explained what it was?
And.....StealthTL also told you what it was and what it does.

What exactly do you mean by "light off the cat" ?

It takes a couple of minutes for the cat to get to operating temperature. Until that time, pollutants flow past. The air pump sends regular air into the exhaust stream. This speeds up the heating process in the cat and cuts the time when it isn't operational.
