Default Whats this orange o ring from?

I am putting my engine together and I have an thin orange o ring that i cant figure out what it is from. It is similar to the one found in the iac valve but its not that one or the one on part that goes to the brake booster. It was on the floor near my intake manifold so i assume its something from there but I cant figure it out.

Not if its the same size as the IAC o-ring. It may be that you had two in there.

Are you positive it's not just an O-ring that accidentally made it's way onto the floor under your car?

I am telling you it is the muffler defibulator oring! It looks like it is an extra one. Did you replace the IAC or the TPS? If so it is probly the original one and it must of fell off when you pulled the part out of the TB, and the new part came with one. But I like my first answer best, muffler defibulator oring.

Have you started the car yet to check for any leeks?
