My questions are, should it matter if I put it in the hose coming from the accordion tube and before the juncion, and what is that dead-end pipe coming from the junction for?
1. The silver saucer-shaped thing is the EGR valve. No, it is not going to the EGR. It is going to the back of the EGR to the IAC valve.
2. It should not matter where the cap is. The goal is to disrupt the air flow to "break" the resonance (for the moose problem).
3. 12-inch dead end pipe is the 96 fix for the moose problem. It is supposedly the new design resonator. As you and I have discovered, it doesn't really help a whole lot. Another method, it the moose reappears is to try putting a hose clamp on the middle of the rubber hose and slowly tightening it until the moose disappears.
