Hey guys sorry to bother you. I just have a quick question. I am in the process of putting back the remaining parts for my 120k service. I stumble on a small metal part that I have no clue where it goes. Can you guys please help me.

I'm not positive, but that last one actually looks like the bracket that holds the cruise control, which would have nothing to do with the 120k kit. Or it may be one that holds one of the stock brackets under the hood, of which most of them I've removed.

He's saying the first 2 don't tell much. That, or vaguely looks like something that could be used with alternator or PS pump...but I don't think that's it. The third picture does look like its meant to hold a connector, which would make more sense for being on top of the engine, like at the cruise control. My previous owners pulled almost all of those things off, so I don't have as much familiarity with them.

It is one of the clamps that mounts to each valve cover top and holds down the spark plug coil wire...You'll have two unfilled holes on the top of each valve cover where it's exposed between the intake runners, mid-engine, for cyls 3 and 4.
Oh, and they are not related to the 120K service or under the timing covers or anything else you may be worrying about- they are non-essential but best replaced if possible.
