I was changing spark plugs and wires. On Cylinder #1 (right side closest to the firewall) things were awfully tight. I pulled on a hose a bit too hard and this pulled out.

Anyone have any idea what this is?

FYI. Cylinder #1 is right side front.
Oops! Yes, that’s correct. I posted this late last night after a frustrating evening of trying to change the spark plugs with slow success. I got 5 done, but the #2 plug was a beast and #3 made me decide to call it a day. I’ll come at it again tonight.

I’m not a mechanic, just a farm kid who watched his dad work on cars, so obviously I think I can do this. Plus, I’m an engineer, so of course I think I can. 😄 I remember my dad cursing engineers for designing equipment this way. He used to say that engineers should have to spend at least two years as a mechanic before they are allowed to design anything so they would understand what their designs meant for the mechanic.

Thanks tw
