I need help identifying the part that is right next to (sort of forwand and a bit lower), the radiator expansion tank on a 1997 XK8, looks to have a vacuum connection and a electrical connector...want to know what this does. Thanks for any help

 

a picture would help.can you post?

 

Sounds to me like you're describing the Evaporative Emissions Canister Purge Valve. I've attached a PDF below, which contains the description and function of this part as outlined in JTIS.

This is it and the information helped a lot...thank you so much for sharing.

Now right below the EECPV, there is a smaller vacuum line (near the two fuel pipes), was does it go to?
Thanks again
