So... what is this and how difficult is it to repair/replace?

 

could you zoom out a bit more?

 

it is one of the electrical connections off of the ACV. I have no idea what it does though.

 

bahhhhh i suck at getting pics on here

 

It is a sensor for the Air control valve. Do you still have an Air pump? OR should i say, do you still have cat converters. If not Racing Beat... (www.Mazdatrix.com) sells a block of plate to remove the whole ACV assembly. Works great and costs about 10 bucks. Well worth it.

 

It's of Whyteboy22's engine. That's the full pic.

 

Yeah, it is a ACV sensor. The dealer will simply *** rape you on that part. ( They did me) At least it was a similar one. If you can remove the ACV do it.

Thanks to everyone helping exp. AMUR. Paid 600.00 and i hope i can get this one going strong soon.

 

It's not a sensor, it's a solenoid valve. If you need your emissions equipment in place and working, just go to a wrecker and get a complete replacement AVC. If not, remove the AVC, along with the air pump and cat. A search will reveal many threads on doing this.

 

i have a good one in my garage, i will sell ya for $25 shipped...

You didn't say, but I bet you're getting a check engine light.
