What is this?
Can someone please tell me what this is? It's attached to the fuel rail. The round silver thing.
Thanks
Joel

I think that is what it is, too - on some years' trucks they are built right in to the fuel rail.

IIt looks like it's built into the rail. If the black boot wasn't seated all the way down, could that cause an intermittent miss? I had an intake manifold gasket leaking coolant on the drivers side. But I still have a miss, but no cel. That was the only thing that didn't look look right after leaving the shop.

LOL, are you sure it's a red wire with a black boot??

How about a vacuum line with a black boot?

And, yes, vacuum lines that are disconnected will cause problems.

Heck I didn't know vacuum lines came in colors. All the ones on my older vehicles seemed to always be black lol. I learn something new every day.
Thank you

Probably a stupid question, but do the cops on one side only have 1 wire while the cops on the other side have 2 wires??
