To keep it from breaking off (I think it comes like that from factory mine had it as well). I think the Freeze 12 is one of the alternatives (not %100 sure).

Re: Car wont start and im out of ideas

Are the injectors firing while the motor is cranking? What is the PSI at the fuel rail? If it is too high or too low the injectors will not fire. Also be sure to check the fuel pressure regulator.
