I have a new problem, my 86 2.9L will sometimes not start and when it does crank it will die after a few minutes. I have noticed a part that makes a click at the moment the engine dies but I do not know what it is, need help. It is bolted to the passenger side inner fender well between the battery and the MAP, it has a mostly round shape that have a 2 wire plug that goes into it and 2 hoses, one hose goes to the EGR and the other goes to the intake manifold. One time as the engine was running rough I grabbed the top of this mystery part, which turns, and turned it and the engine instantly started running smooth. This part will also make a strange noise after the engine is turned off for about 30 seconds, it gets more high pitched until it stops
This truck has a lot of new sensors from the previous owner, which I know could mean nothing but this one seems to be old, may need replacing. I have uploaded photos of it. I bypassed the fuel cut of switch under the dash and the starting problem seems to have gone for know. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am determined to make this a reliable truck.
