doo-dad #2 is the Idle Air Motor (53007562)

Is that what you're referring to? Do I just clean the electrical

That is only for the very first generation ones that went dark Bill.

Once they started turning colors, usually green, they actually have a
little ball in there that floats when the specific gravity is right for
charged.

Follow the link Bill: http://www.itwdelpro.com/battery.html
There are diagrams of how it works. There is more to it than just the pointy
plastic rod.
