WIERD SCREW ON 951
Okay, so after a very tedious journey since February of this year. I replaced the clutch on my 1986 951, and then had a no start, no tach bounce issue. I have done everything possible. Tested the ECU/KLR, replaced the reference sensors, replaced the harness, etc. And the car is still not starting. I decided to take it to the pros at Parkhaus1 because I have been frustrated for months. Now, the issue that I have a come upon now is that I am attempting to put the ECU and KLR back into place under the passenger seat. Oddly enough, I found this peculiar screw which I honestly don't remember removing in the car.
Does anyone have any idea what this is or could be???
Thanks in advanced!

Doesn't look familiar to me, but the brass part would have been thermoset into plastic. It has ripped out of something.
The black part screws into the brass portion.

Yeah I just removed it from the brass portion. I'm just worried that it is something important.

It reminds of the KLR boost connection but obviously isn't the same. I'm about to get back into my DME I'll keep an eye out for a similar thing-

Is it the plug for the FQS? I have seen 2 different types. Neither of them look quite like that but maybe there are other types.

I don't think so, the DME was never opened.

What are the chances it's not a part from your car? Stuff ends up under car seats all the time.

Is the screw that holds the hinge together it obviously broke off with the threaded collar that is embedded in the other side
