the s4 water themo sensor plug is the same plug as the BAC valve or the 88 injectors: square plug with an offset tab.



buy another plug here: http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/injector%20clips.htm or get one at carquest. tell them you need a Bosch fuel injector pig tail.

Those connectors have a center locating tab instead of an offset one (impossible to find the offset ones), so you will need to file the tab off altogether. IT's on the bottom part of the water thermosensor plug.

I have done this exact repair procedure on a BAC valve connector. But I actually depinned the broken BAC valve connector and inserted the pins into a new connector without cutting anything.
