Doing some clean up work and found this bugger sitting there. Wonder where the metal clip goes to? Anyone know what connector this is BTW so I know?

Not quite sure, but I'll take a stab at it being for the oil pressure sender which is under the intake at that location.

It goes to the fuel rail stop which appears to be removed in that pic. I remove this from all my cars when the intake comes off. Its a saftey feature to stop the fuel rail from moving in a front end collision.

oh I see, so there's nowhere for it to clip any more and I should just tuck it under?

No problem. What type of intake cover is on the car?

Hi there it's the RPI in chrome
Kind of a pain to install, you have to remove the fuel rail to get it under the cross tube of the rail. In the process I pinched 2 injector o rings and had to replace all of them.

I believe they or someone else makes a 2 piece one. but if you are more decent then me you wont screw up the install in the first place and the 1 piece is nicer in my eyes
