the car started as normal this morning, but cut out and died 30 seconds later. been doing that for most of the day. last time out, i see my foglights all lit up by themselves, and dash warning lights on, but dim, and audible alert going off too. all this with no key in ign. took out dash pod, and no obvious signs of burned wiring/cable/connectors. seems strange to be at same place, as before. anyway, with ign switch on, i hear a loud clicking coming from below air-box?? remove the same, and at the rear bracket, there is a small round aluminum cylinder, with two leads attached. the top of the cylinder has a large hex on it, and it bolts to the underside of the airbox bracket. this item is clicking away, with ign switch to on. any ideas what it does?? it is attached by hose to the afm, and looks like to the intake manifold too.
