Hi All,
After replacing the spark plugs and wires and not solving a rough running issue, I took my 1997 LS400 to a shop for diagnosis. They identified an arcing wire so I took it back and changed out the bad wires.
When I got the car back I saw they broke the track the wires sit in across the front of the engine. I've been trying to locate a replacement since, but I'm unsuccessful as I don't know what this part would be called. Here's a picture of a similar engine with an arrow to the broken part.
What is the black plastic track the wires sit in?
Any one know what the proper name for this is and where I might locate a replacement? I'm guessing the $50 the shop gave me for breaking this is not sufficient for replacement.

Not sure what they call it - but both times when I replaced my HT leads (on different LS400s) the entire loom was supplied including this plastic channel. I'm guessing you didn't use Toyota leads.

First; If you didn't purchase replacement wires, then have shop install.OEM... reasonably priced, fit correctly and do not arc.
Second, Unless they are a friend of yours then have them replace the lower cover for sparknplug wires at their expense.
