Ox sensor connector? They tend to get brittle and break with age. Are you running a sensor?

Strictly stock. No aftermarket pieces. It’s an ox sensor? Haven’t chased the wires to see if they feed to any exhaust ports but a quick look doesn’t have me thinking it’s going to the exhaust.

Done. Sorry Ian. First post and fumbled

If you’re talking about the broken orange connector that is indeed the OXS sensor connector. There is a guy here with the handle Louie_85 (maybe no underscore?). He makes replacement connectors as they are no longer available.

You can send him a Private Message (PM)

Forgot to add... totally common failures. Those things disintegrate with age.

If the connection is good, the broken plastic part doesn't matter.

Or simply add a new connector the the wire like a "superseal" one.
Which is btw much more comfortble for pullin and pluggin than the original.

You guys rock. Appreciate the assessment and gouge. Copy all.
Btw - a chuckle for the wrench turners: “honey - I’m just going to go swap a fuel filter - 30 minutes I’ll be back.”

5 hours later the scene.
