I found this while replacing my fuel filter:


I think it's a ground wire of some sort, but I don't know what to do with it.

no idea what this is, I've always assumed it's for testing purposes, but just thought I'd ask.


I've always wondered what this goes to. I think it went to the O2 sensor (which I don't have). It's part of a group of four wires; one goes to the BAC and two go to injectors.


I couldn't find this in the Hayne's manual, whatever it is:



While checking the BAC valve, I noticed there was a kink in this vacuum line. It's hard to see because of the angle, but you can sort of see the sides bulge in the picture. Is this a problem? I'm worried it may be restricting air flow. How can I fix it?

 

1/2: looks like a ground for some aftermarket part
3: air bleed for the clutch fluid
4: O2 sensor wire runs under the UIM, that is probably the wires for the port/splir air solenoids on the ACV.
5: fuel injector resistor pack
6: the BAC only augments idle on startup and when turning, so air flow isn't a real big deal.

 

First one should be the oil pressure sensor capacitor piece. It grounds out to smooth the pressure signal or something to that extent.

 

Wow that was quick, thanks.

Interesting. I'm not aware of any aftermarket parts in that area.

That doesn't good. I'll check tomorrow.

 

ok, thanks. I need to find somewhere to attach it. Will any bolt/screw work or does it belong at a specific spot?

 

One of the bolts for the slave cylinder.

 

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is that and where is it?

edit: nevermind, I found it. The hayne's manual calls it the release cylinder.

 

ok, well that has proven to be impossible. Those bolts aren't moving. Could it go anywhere else?

 

Its just a 10mm bolt on the lower side of it. Mainly just grounding it should be fine.

 

I put it on the top bolt/nut of the fuel filter bracket.

 

Dude..to ground that Capacitor,go on the Driver's side of the car and look between the Engine and the Firewall,around by the Brake booster.You will see the Air Bleed Screw for the Slave cylinder,also ONE of two Bolts that Holds the slave on..Put the Capacitor there.(undo that one bolt,that holds the slave cylinder on, put it on the bolt,tighten bolt).

 

I know where the bolts are, but with the tools I have it is really hard to access the bolts, which are pretty rusted and won't budge, and the heater coolant hose and oil filter are in the way.
