Maya 2020 Artifact during render

[brianpfrang]

So on the left image you can see what looks like a plane that's coming out of my barrel shroud, and that isn't on the actual model, any ideas how to make that to go away? I already merged verts, and tried to redo the different faces, but no luck.

Okay so I think I found out what it is, I have edges that have no surface area, problem is I have cleaned most of them up, but I still have one or two that are in here, and I am unable to select them even using the cleanup tool or Vertex Face doesn't work. Any ideas?

Smooth preview does sometimes show them.
