A conversation with a customer last night which started with "this is what you need" followed with his reply of "whats that" sparked the idea for this post. Maybe once a week or so I thought I would post 5 different parts found on vehicles that get replaced with at least some frequency. The thought was to get people more familiar with what the service guys are talking about. This week I picked 5 pretty easy ones to get the ball rolling. Shackbash and 4wanderingeyes have to tell me the make, model, and year these parts fit!

What are these parts?

Part A


Part B


Part C


Part D


Part E

Great idea! I will be the (about) first one, and I am for sure no mechanic, as you will see.

A - some type of vaccuum valve?... no idea, but I know where sit sits.

B - o2 sensor

C- Looks like (head)light bulb conncetion?...

D - not sure, fuel injector?...

E - part from tranny?...

Ha! this will certainly help me learn! Thanks, great idea!

looks ford, but not sure
gm
chrysler
ford
the cause of so many oil leaks on gms! lol gm
I left the names out for others to guess

1) Kenuter valve (sp) or power brake booster?
2) Electronic throttle return plunger or O2 sensor?
3) Blinker fluid level indicator (left side) or MAF?
4) Washer fluid squirter or fuel injector?
5) Muffler bearing support shaft or distributer shaft?

airjer, work a little slow for ya? Good game though, keep it up! I will let shack give the years! lol I had the names up there, but I figured I would pull them off for others to play.

Been swamped!

A- doohickey
B-whatchamacallit
C-thingamajig
D-that thingymabob
E-flux capacitor

good one!

I'll take a shot
a egr
b o2 sensor
c maf sensor
d fuel injector
e broken distributor

mr walleye and Sutty stole my answers!

OH! I missed this one.

I can name all of them, but make, model and year will take some time.

Good thread Airjer .

Could be very tough.

I'm guessing #1 is a EGR Valve and #2 is an O2 sensor as already mentioned above.

Is the last one a recalled broken camshaft out of a Toyota Tundra?

So when you do post the answers to the pictures i would love to have an explanation of how and why these parts fail. for example broken wire, plugged jet, broken shaft, worn out shaft, bad design, abusive driving habits, etc.

For those of us who are mechanically challenged, when are you going to reveal the correct answers? Does anyone know where I can get a can of relative bearing grease??

My turn:

1- EGR valve removed from a Ford (it's got to be a Ford)
2- O2 sensor (there's no more O2 in town, so we don't need a sensor)
3- Crankshaft sensor from a Yugo ( did they have a crankshaft or just pedals ?)
4- Injector from a Duramax (they are plastic, the disposable kind every 1000 miles)
5- Broken distributor shaft, LMITOUT has it right definitely from a Toy (ota)
