Im after a bit of info if anyone knows what a couple of unknown bits (unknown to me )are on the engine.
a few pics .
Close up of the above arrowed item.
The other thing that does not seem to be connected to anything or even where it plugs in, the centre pin pushes in and out on a spring.

Hi
Dave
The thing that looks like a lollipop covered in verdigris is, in fact a small aftermarket stick grenade that is installed by some service companies , and it goes off with a small "Bang....wheeeee...ploop " 10 seconds before your next service interval is due, so that you immediately dash round to the service company and spend your hard-earned Yen. The springy device is a "Zebidee Sensor" which determines whether there are any unwanted springy devices having been planted in the car whilst you had it parked....if you turn on the ignition, and hold a piece of card near the pin, it will tap out a series of Japanese characters on the card for you to read!
Hopefully, someone will be along with another answer....the springy thing looks like something has been removed from it....as for the other device?????
Cheers
Helen

top pic is 1 way valve used by the idle contoller valves, not hugely important,but you may notice a split second delay from start up before the idle revs increase, the second is indeed the sensor pin from the top of the EGR valve,assumedly left plugged in so it doesnt give a fault condition. Neither part is Bongo life threatening, just turn the stereo up and drive through it!! lol
