TL:DR Look at picture below and tell me WTF this thing is. Thanks.
Hi people! I have been having this super annoying issue with my car where it jerks SO MUCH! Sometimes it doesn't happen for a few days, other times it'll happen for several days. Sometimes it'll happen only when the engine is cold, other times it'll happen when warm. I've replaced a few components during my diagnosing attempts and the car ran better overall each time I replaced something (come on! I have more miles than you after all!), but I still had to put up with the jerking! Keep in mind that my problem is resolved, I'm just giving you a back story!  I've done: Full tune-up - was not overdue but didn't hurt to perform one Fuel filter - that thing was nasty! The gas came out black TPS - had amazing throttle response after replacing Fuel pump - WHOA! Ran so smooth (of course when the issue wasn't occurring) I suspected: MAP - F**K THAT S**T! So damn expensive. Plus I flicked it hard enough and the engine didn't react (tried and true method of testing) Engine mounts - they didn't look too bad Clutch - passed all of my tests (plus, is about 4 years old) Distributor - Uhhhhh, let's not go there... So, I was checking for vacuum leaks today and noticed a sensor looking thing on the firewall, behind the TPS. I flicked it as hard as I can (I can bruise a human being with a single flick, sometimes make them bleed) and the engine stuttered and almost stalled out completely - told you my flick method works. I unplugged this device and the car has since ran soooo smooothly. OMG BRO, like its a new car! #firstworldproblems #WTFisthisSHIZ #INormallyDontHastagButIveBeenDrinking #nof*cksgivenSFWversion So, what is this thing! I won't give excuses as to why I don't know what it is...I simply don't know what it is! The engine bay is not of my car and is, in fact, not a Celica. However, the location of the unknown device is the same. Thanks peeps!

The AC idle up valve will have tubes going STRAIGHT to the intake manifold and throttle area. The EGR solenoid will have tubes going to the EGR valve or the transducer (disc thing).
Do you have a 7A or 5S? -------------------- |
