Well, was looking under the hood and found this dangling.

It has two numbers written on it: 5w7t-18801-aa and pbt-gf30

It has a single lead that gets buried back into a wiring harness.

I googled both numbers and the first one didn't return anything but found various threads with the pbt-gf30 number thattalk variously about the 90mm Lightning MAF, which I have.

It looks like the metal tab is supposed to be connected to something??

TIA!!

I looked in mine it goes on the rt side of the timing cover were theres a stud see if this picture helps that does not come out on its own is on there pretty tight did someone do any work on your engine???????.

There's another one on the passemger side.
They are resistors. Not sure what there purpose is but I had to tie an intercooler water pump relay into one of them.
That metal tab needs to be bolted to ground in order for it to work. A resistor always has two connections...

 

Yeah, the douchbag that installed the SC! First I found they didn't clamp the radiator hose to the motor - found a stream of coolant under my car in a shopping center where luckily there was a parts shop!

Thanks guys, I'll bolt that bish back on! Appreciate the help & pic!

 

It looks like a resistor. It need to be grounded. One of its purposes is to reduce electrical noise in the audio system. There are probably other things they do too.

 

sure looks like a whichit clip to me...

 

Alright, I'll bite. What's a whichit clip?

I found a place to bolt it down that's only 0.3 ohms difference from where the other one's bolted down and test drove. With that bolted back on and with the new el-cheapo (Steeda) oil separator, the car sounds growlier [8D]

 

They look like radio interference resistors, without them you could hear alternator whine in the radio. I'm not 100%, but that's what I would guess they are, either way, whatever it is, itdoesn't appear to work without a ground.

 

a whichit is a name for something that you dont know what the real name is... which (name is) it = whichit lol sorry for the confusion
