Appears to be nothing I hope, seems to be the cap of something. Any ideas?




Was sitting in the spark plug galley, if you can't tell by the pictures.

Thanks,
J

Maybe its the cap for your a/c refill thing. There usually screw on but ford might have got cheap.

This is the production cap used to protect your A/C line during handling and assembly. No real threat what so ever.

I FOUND ONE TOO!!!!
I found it on the driver's side spark plug valley.
I'll take a pic of it tonight and re-post.
It's a different cap than the one you found.
it's grey and looks like a protective cover for a threaded
something or other.
