He was discovered floating freely behind what I assume are the power steering hoses just to the right of the right intake plenum, and he's been using the social security number of a man that's been deceased for 96 years.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi - first post. Just bought a house and since I've got a garage now, I'm doing some maintenance on my 2002 996 C4S. One of the things I'm trying to do is eliminate rattles when I hit bumps. The car has R�F suspension and I live in the city so ... rattles. After removing the airbox and browsing the engine bay I found three parts that are just flapping around. Can someone help me figure out how/where they mount?
Mystery item number one 🕵️♂️
This part is attached to the power steering bracket, is made of metal, has a hole that doesn't connect to anything, and enjoys bouncing around freely, because it's loose.
Mystery item #2 - the stranger 👽
This one's part of the secondary air injection system AFAIK, and it's goes by the alias, Vacuum Reservoir. He was discovered floating freely behind what I assume are the power steering hoses just to the right of the right intake plenum, and he's been using the social security number of a man that's been deceased for 96 years. Any idea where/how to secure it? A photo would be worth 1000 words.
Part number 993-110-140-03

The final mystery item
- brought to you by the number 4 and the letter S
From far right field (on top of the sheet metal covering the right side muffler) comes a huge plastic mounting bracket. Normally it might secure the very large wiring harness connectors, but not this bracket, no chance. It's just sitting there doin not much of anything, and I don't even know what to call it. Pelican Parts refers to it as simply "Holder". I can see three protrusions on the back side that correspond to three slots in the sheet metal this
"holder" (part number 997-610-131-00)
was (mostly) sitting on top of, but it's not secured by any means, and the protrusions weren't in their holes. Any idea how it's supposed to be secured?
Thanks tommelton!
Thanks DBJoe996! Anyone know how it's supposed to secure, or have a better photo of the piece so I can figure it out myself?
Hmm ok - guess that's from previous owner. Thanks for the confirmation. Not sure I want to re-route all the vacuum lines, so maybe The Stranger will get the zip tie treatment for now.
BTW
@TexSquirrel
- saw you're in Richmond, TX - I grew up there on Clayhead Rd. We've got very similar cars - would love to chat about some of your mods and how you're liking them, because I've been wondering about a few.
Just in case you haven't found it yet, but I often use the parts diagrams to get some insight on how things go together. Can't stay I studied them for your questions, but I find the parts diagrams really useful.
Here is the online version, but there are PDF versions also floating around:
