I have a question about a part that fell out of my car engine this morning?

Question

I was right in the middle of the freeway and I heard it crack off and saw it go bouncing to the side.... no other cars were around me at the time.
The car is still running, just a little smoke pouring out. Do I really need to pay to get the part put back on?"

Answer 1

Ok, don't listen to these guys.....basically it could have just been a plastic cover or wheel well, or it could have been the cormus joint that links the tie-ball to the energy manifold. If its the latter just bring the car to walmart, one of there qualified technicians will have a look at it and replace the part for you.

Answer 2

That's just your basic canooter valve - you don't really need it unless you drive over 55MPH.

Answer 3

little smoke?

I don't know what it is that fell off, but you won't pass state inspection, if you have one where you are.

Answer 4

that was the johnson rod....

it plugs into the kenueter (sp) valve
