The black one could be the VATS module, and the other the quad input buffer used for the VSS, but those are just guesses...

I dont have Vats and I thought the VSS was on the tranny? I was wondering because when I unpluged them and dove the car nothing changed and I was just wondering what they were supposed to do is there a way to look up the part numbers I found to see what they are?
