It's part of the fueling system on a Chevy V6. People call it the "spider module." It injects a precise amount of fuel into the injectors, and the injectors put that into the cylinder of the Chevy.

THAT* would be the fuel injector/ spider for the chevrolet "vortec" motors. Common in the 4.3L v6 and 5.7L v8's as mentioned above. I remember pulling one of these out of the box to examine it when i worked at Oreilly's. Ive been wrenching for years but never had to change one myself.

You're lucky. I've had to do at least 10-15 of those damn things. The earlier models had problems with the lines getting clogged.

You found it under your hood.......I can't tell if it's Male or Female
The red "necklace" around it's body identifies it as female, the more dangerous of the species.
