Yeah, USPS has a habit of doing that, it’s ridiculous.

Best of luck to you and your fiancé, I’m sure it’s a really tough situation. I couldn’t imagine. My prayers are with you!

I'm not sure what that connector on top of the strut tower is, but the computer is the ABS module. But yeah, callahanoffroad hit the nail on the head with everything! That's a fuel line, unrelated to the PCV.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother adding an alarm!
