Question What is this?

While replacing the vacuum lines I have found this next to the intake.

Small cylindrical object, 0.483 diameter. Seems to be a plug of some sort.

I`m not a big fan of unidentified spare parts...does someone here know where it came from?

OH No! That's the framistat retention plug. Your car will burst into flames if it's not in place.


I don't know what it is. The MAF adjustment or similar type plug seems reasonable.

You can "delete " the dip stick? Why would you do that?

I saw one of those before.

It fell out of one of our 3rd Coast drivers bungholes after a good run. He said he had a very butt clinching moment and when he got out of the car that thing fell out. Has to be a seat part.
