Replacement Electrical Connectors 4 1991 Supra

Hey all,

My son has a 1991 Supra and has torn it down and put a new head gasket
on it. We are reassembling it now but have noticed it is missing a
Knock sensor connector and some previous owner cobbled something
together for it. Also we had a VSV connector break off right flush with
the connector so no way to re-attach it to the wires.

Does anyone have a line on a source for replacement connectors that
come with pigtails attached?

TIA

Good luck on that VSV.
I got one on EBay for $20. It won't pass emissions without it.

You might be able to get some kind of very small tube adapter and epoxy it
in with hi-temp epoxy, but I'd start looking. They're $65+ from Toyota.

I believe the knock sensor has a single wire connected, so if the engine
wire harness side of the connector is missing, just use an insulated bullet
or spade connector. If the engine wire harness connector is OK, then use
spade connectors that fit inside the factory connector. Another approach is
to back the spade connections inside the wire harness connector out of the
plastic housing so that you have loose spade connections. Save the plastic
housing so that you can return it back to it original state if you replace
parts later.

If you cannot find a replacement VSV, use the same trick for the knock
sensor wiring, then solder the wire to the VSV contacts or try something
like DevCon.
