Unhappy What is this (under hood component)?

Please be nice to me....I have been searching on here to see if anyone else has this and I have come up with nothing. I am trying to get rid of the rats nest in my car and I came across this (and a ton of other garbage) and have no idea what it is, or if I even need it.

It is really hard for me to tell what that is... Does it sit on top of your antilock brake module?

Looks like an aftermarket solenoid rack...... I believe Azeknights or similar username here on the forum ran a Group Buy on them a number of years back, that should help you search a bit

Definitely looks like a AzEKnightz relocated solenoid rack. Here's the Group Buy thread for them: https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-pr...d-rack-968956/

During the early development, he was having some issues finding connectors to mate up with the stock solenoid wiring. It's possible that would explain why they're not connected on your car.

The picture above seems to show them connected, if you are running simplified sequential then you only need 3 solenoid, so you'll have a bunch of connector unplugged.

Is your car having boost issues?

Do you have 3-X number of hours to invest into learning What needs to go what needs to stay?

If You answered no to one or both of these questions...

Dont touch it!!!

Decide if You want non-seq or or in the effort to make the seq run properly and go from there.

I've sent you the instructions via pm.

Check everything thoroughly, nothing on the rack should be unplugged.
You are definitely going to know something is wrong if you have something unplugged.
