My buddies and I have been rebuilding my stepdad's old truck. It was disassembled by his friends and we are almost finished putting it back together and we found this green and light blue-tipped sensor thingy and none of us have a clue what it is. Does anyone have a clue?

It was the engine, we didn't take the entire thing apart. only down to the heads, the heads were warped due to a thermostat malfunction and the truck overheated.

PCV valve. Driver side of motor all the way at the back. Near the coil pack.

EGR check valve. I believe it's at the back of the driver's side cylinder head.
