Default What is this loose item??

Help! In middle of spark plug change on my 2019 3.5 ecoboost and notothis is broken off. What is it? Can it be fixed and is it important?

Wondering if I can simply solder a wire between the broken parts for a temporary fix?

It's just a hold down for whatever is in the loom. It's plastic and won't solder.

I wouldn't worry about it.

The wire comes off of the middle passenger side coil pack and into the intake manifold?

The part you are holding is just a plastic hold down for the wire loom. Not having it connected will be fine.

Won't hurt a thing to be that way.
