There's this odd ball-like thing in my engine bay with a wire running to it from the engine. It's a 1991 S-10 with a 2.8 and I just bought it. The ball think is on the driver's side on the bottom of the engine bay
This picture isn't of my engine bay, but there's the same thing on the passenger's side, behind the battery. What is it?

hi 74camarodriver, so you have big balls under the hood to. lmao. if you have cruse control its part of the vaccume, the hose runs from there beside the trans tube then it splits off  to the tbi unit and carrys over to the cruse con modual, hope this helps

here is a pict of my old 94 S10   (4.3 though)

It does not have cruise control,  but it does have a similar Ball  (attached to the hood/drivers side)

It's got to be some sort of vacum, I suspect

There's no way it could be a vacuum. It has one electrical wire running to it from the back of the engine. I think it's some sort of sensor, but I have no idea what kind.
