Default Electrical quiz? How well do you know?

Funny isn't it, you look under the bonnet and think to yourself "what the hell do these all do"

Well some of us do anyway

So whilst searching for any split vac hoses yesterday I stumbled across something disconnected accidentally and thought hmmm I wonder what the heck that does...

Under the air box there are 3 electrical "blocks, bobbins, dowaggers" whatever you wanna call em, two of em have vac hoses coming off the main vac pump hose and the one nearest the bulk head was off completely...

So all mightys of knowledge, what be'eth this contraption and what be'eth thou purpose?

only Nissan can answer that, well maybe not as the guys that did the Terrano are probably not there any more, suffice to say they had loads of extra sockets that were not used, Rick

This one has all the connectors but it had come off its hose, I'll show you on Saturday, there are 3 with electrical wires coming off em, all below the air box in a line.

If it's what I think they are 2 of them control the egr valve & the butterfly valve in the inlet manifold (part of the egr system) the 3rd one i've not traced back yet
