Soldering these days is a no - no. There's no real lead in it today because of the mercury content. Introducing solder to any connection will increase the resistance across it. Now if you're driving a 1950 DeSoto with the original 6 volt system and want to repair a wire or replace a terminal, go ahead and solder - it's fine.
But dealing with micro voltages = Do Not! If you have to splice a connector or terminal in, use a high quality one from someone like Wurth with heat shrink on each end. The Engine management system is looking for a response from various sensors within a certain window and time frame.
