It finally stopped raining in upstate NY long enough for me to replace the dying starter on my 97 max. As I was putting the air intake back together, I discovered this little guy, that I know I've never disconnected:



Any idea where that's supposed to go?

 

Thats just a relay of some sort. Its usually taped up by the knock sensor sub harness.

 

Yea, it was tucked underneath and hidden away til I pulled the entire air intake system out to give myself room to do the starter. So I can just leave it alone?

 

I think it is the capacitor for the ignition coils and should to be mounted on the post that is behind the red & black wires.

 

That's what I was wondering, but I didn't want to take the chance of breaking it by forcing it on there.
