Anyone Know What This Is - It Just Melted On My Manifolds

[im]

Car was idling 'lumpy' when started from cold so I thought I'd take a look under the bonnet and found this:







Its actually melted from laying on top of the manifold but does anyone know what it is?

Is it critical?

My car seemed to even-out the lumpy running when warmed up but could this have been anything to do with the initial lumpiness?

Any input gratefully received!

Lamba connector ?

Hmm, you have got me thinking here Ian.

Mine has started to run a little roughly before it gets on "boost", feels like fuel starvation, but is ok with my right foot firmly planted - and i have seen that little bit that you picture just lolling about...

I wonder if it is redundant due to the "modification".

Unfortunately mine is in at RG at the moment, so i can't have a look, but i will make a point of asking them when i collect the car.

Its an unused connector that pokes out of the loom in that area. I would be inclined to cut off the remains and tape up in case the wires are now shorting.

Thanks Del & Dogbucket. I think I will cut it off (and tape up) as it is buggered now anyway.

David: Please let me know if you find anything out. The car is OK when warm but the start up is a little ropey now.

I believe it is for air conditioning given the loom is a bodged LR one . . . Not applicable in most TVR's . . . Cut off the remains and forget about it . .

Hi Ian,

YHM, but basically it is an aircon plug which is not used, the Lamda sensor wire runs under the exhaust manifold with a similar connector.
