So I was finally getting around to changing the leaky hoses to my egr spacer, when I noticed this thing just hanging down under my mass air sensor.....what is it? My guess is the knock sensor.

Ah, I should have mentioned; it's a 90 lx vert with AC (though not working).

If it's the wo ac relay, should it be mounted somewhere?

If you look around some more you will find more things just hanging there.

Should be mounted to the fender below the MAF meter. There might be a clip down there that it was attached too

No 5.0's do NOT have knock sensors, atleast never that I have seen . That "big whiteish thing" as you put it is the ACT in the lower manifold.

No flames just FYI
