I am an ex U.S. Navy engineman (Diesel Mechanic) & my father was an ordinary mechanic so I grew up turnig wrenches from abt age 5 on.
I have now got stuck though on a 1991 Lexus LS 400. I was changing a water pump on this LS400 & I have a part unknown as to where I got it off the V8 engine or what it does. My best description is it looks about like an orange juice can only smaller diameter abt 1-1/4" diameter and abt 6" long with a pointed stem in the bottom sticking down abt 1/8" diameter & 1/2" sticking out. It has 2 threaded screws at the base to secure it to engine abt #10 metric wrench size any ideas? I admit I am stumped & cant locate where it goes. Any help would be appreciated jerrysr@ comcast.netqq
