What is this?!

Was wiping down the engine bay and found this plastic piece. Anyone have any idea where it goes?

That is asking a lot, a clip from the engine bay?
Not that some on here can't do it.
You might have better luck on your own.
Use www.realoem.com
Enter your VIN, then use the part number in a search.
Might even be a linked diagram.

lol no idea! did you find it under the car or were you wiping things down and that came off? I would look around where you wiped

Two off shore guesses

1. Coil pack wire hold down/removal. You lift the clip and it removes the wiring and able to pull the coilpack out.

2 Old windshield wiper?

Pet peeve....

It's not a coil PACK, it is an individual coil. A coil pack is a number of individual coils PACKED together in one unit.

That said, this piece looks plastic and the coil clips are metal.

Thanks everyone. Found it were I was wiping. On the right side of the engine bay. It actually might be a wiper clip. I looked everywhere in the bay and couldn’t find anything missing. I’ll double check in the morning.

Lol. Each unit is, in fact, a pack of individual coils.

So no need to get angry.

Not angry at all.

Coil pack, wires required:

Individual coil on plug (COP), no wires required.

The primary and secondary coil is one complete unit.

Its a part of the wiper adapters. Some are letter labeled for many types of cars.
