Arrow UVC connectors

Hello,
I was wondering if someone on this forum could asist me in locating my UVC connectors? I notice a slight hesitation in my psd and would like to start with the UVC connectors.

They are located under the valve covers, near the top of the head.. You can also ohms check them from the outside of the covers, without removing them.. suggest you have your fault codes read.. See my gallery for pic's of UVC connections.. Your hesitation is probably caused by something else however.. Give us some more info...
And Welcome to the forum

Welcome to FTE. Fill us in on your slight hesitation. Is it a skip or rough idle, or do you notice it while driving too? Do you have a check engine light? Have you had the CPS recall done? The new CPS has been known to cause a rough idle.

Welcome to FTE.

I agree that if your only problem is a slight hesitation it is probably not a UVCH problem.

Give us more info.

I change my fuel filter today and the hesitation still there. I will be buying a new cps next from usedieselparts.com ($25) and hoping that may cure this problem. I havent had any check engine light coming on, so I hope this is something simple. Where in the engine compartment is the cps located?
