The following terms are also recognised:
Thingumabob

Wotsit
And "that thing that goes through the fan housing which the accelerator cable runs in" also works.

Suzie, what planet you from. Fuel lines don't run through the fan housing, they go around the outside. The accelarator cable goes through the fan housing.
