It\'s normal - everyone says this when they see their rats nest for the first time! I take it you have a manual?

Get some pics but I am sure it is normal, I also have a couple missing, somehting to do with auto or somthing, I am sure the more knowing will reply as well for you.

Try a quick search I know this has been covered before.

If you look at the diagram you put up, you\'ll notice that there in the key is an icon for \'Automatic Only\'. It\'s the white one with black cross hatching across it. If you look carefully, you can see the pipe on that diagram. If you have a manual, you are missing this pipe - and therefore it looks like something is missing.

You can see it\'s connected to the \'F\' solenoid - Charge Control.
