Default Question About This Thingy On Tube Coming From Air Filter...
Anyone know what that Connector with the wire coming out of it is on the tube that is coming out of the Air Filter Box? I have a 3.8L (3800) engine on my '03 Impala. I am just wondering what that is and if that is something you would replace as part of a routine or preventative maintenance thing. Thanks!
