go to the junk yard and take another connector (i'd recommend taking all 4 connectors from the doner car).... i did the same thing....those damn things are so brittle! be careful when pulling the wires from the connector, its kindof a pain! but it works..what year is it?? 86-87 had the same injector connection.....88 had its own connection....and 89-91 had its own! just make sure you get the right one! (im sure you knew all that..... but put it there just in case)

Mazda, but they'll want your first born for it...

Can you remove all the potting & rubber crap off of it and solder the connection back on? Or is the plastic shell beyond hope? Haven't had to mess with mine yet, so I'm just guessing here...

I actually think guys have said that they're available at some auto parts places, Bosch or somebody makes them...Give it a little more time, someone will get on and straighten it out for you

They are a standard Bosch connecter. Some auto supply houses carry them. Take yours with to match, or go to the salvage yard and get under the hood of a newer Ford. The Ford/Bosch clips snap on without the that damn metal clip. When I had my injectors cleaned I had to replace all of the clips.

When you tie the clips into the harness, use good crimp connectors or solder them, then cover the connection with the water proof heat shrink tubing, the kind that has the wax inside the tube.

Man, do a search real quick. This topic pops up every week or two, and I know I've seen links to vendors that carry them...

Ebay has them with pigtails. You solder the wires and you're set. I bought a bunch for all connectors including thermo sensor and BAC.
You guys gotta stop getting 15+ year old parts out of junked cars.

holy **** thats a much better price than mazdatrix. 234$ for all 4 plugs, compared to the 200$ PER PLUG that mazdatrix wants... bastards.

thx for the link, I've been thinking of picking up a new set, im sure the car could use it.
