I've been having an evap code and gas cap message for a month or so. Replaced gas cap, no difference (switched back to old one after a week). Figured it was something minor that I could get taken care of any time in the next month. Opened hood today after having a squirrel suspicion (long story) and noticed that a giant nest had been recently built, and in cleaning out the nest, saw that a wire going (thru a connector) into something to do with post-filter intake air was chewed completely through. But I'm looking for an ID as to what this wire is. There are two wires that emerge from the cloth wrap and go into the plastic clip. From the pic, you can see that the little buttholes chewed it off close enough to the clip that I can't simply splice the wire back together.
Been searching for diagrams, schematics, etc., to try and see what this wire is going to in the air intake manifold (at least I think it's the intake manifold - it is in the center, back towards the firewall, downstream of air filter). Anyone have any idea what this is, and perhaps more importantly, does it have anything to do with my evap issue? I'll post better photos if necessary. These were just the ones that I snapped today as I was tearing the nest out.
Thanks for taking the time to read! Chewed-through wire In situ
Use utility knife to scrape insulation off wire in plug then flux and tin wire in plug first then do the same for harness on truck side after all 4 wires are tinned and solder is sticking good hold them together heat them up one pair at a time they will glue together and done!! About a ten minute job and back on road again.

Awesome. I'll see how far o get tomorrow! Seriously, thanks for the help.

You should be able to release the pins from the plastic connector and put a new wire on the pin, or buy a new connector. It's a two wire connector so easier than one with more.
One would think that was an actuator that connected the vacuum to maybe the vapor line from tank, especially where you have a code from that system.

Yeah I was hoping that this would fix the evap stuff too! Stands to reason...
I have had many issues with squirrels and mice in the past so I started spraying engine areas with a peppermint concentrate it has done a good job of keeping the rodents away

I'm definitely going to try some kind of spray like that. Nature, man. Sucks sometimes.

That's very annoying for sure....
Had issue with mice nesting in vehicle in carport....tossed a bag of mothballs on ground under vehicle and a couple rubber toy snakes a 20" or so long and no more mice. Still working over a year later... squirrels are smart.....maybe a bigger snake? Lol.
Hope you get the varmints!

Haha thanks! That's a clever solution. I'll keep those in mind. First option might be some grilled squirrels xD.
I'm actually looking for a pigtail at the moment, and you'd think that with the number on the plug, it would be simple to find a replacement, but... not really.
Does anyone have a line on how to find parts like this? The plug has E02FL-RS on it, and this returns some results, but nothing that matches exactly.
