Hi all,
Got a question about this plastic/rubber piece(13717503137) that is at MAF-Intake Boot connection. Does anyone know HOW and WHERE, specifically, this piece is utilized? I removed my MAF to clean it and that gasket was hanging out, loose, just inside the Intake Boot. It doesn’t seem to stretch over outer end of MAF, and wouldn’t seem that it would go there, testing fit. Any ideas? I’ve looked all over net, and not one mention. It IS listed on real oem, on schematic. Thanks for any help.

Steve
