Default Replacement Thottle Body Electrical Plugs?

My 2005 STR has damage to both throttle body electrical plugs and I would like to change them. I have the large Ford Pig Tail catalog and have been thru it several times but can't match up anything.

The TB has a 2 pin and a 4 pin plug that look like this.

Does anyone know where to buy these?

Maybe a wrecker? I reckon Ford (and Jaguar) will have 'em, but dunno if they actually make 'em easy to find and buy!

I found the 4 pin plug and it's dead common and used on hundreds of cars. All over EBay as a Toyota TPS pigtail. Not sure what the part number is but at $17 the price is right!

This thread lays it out very good!

Still looking for the 2 plug pigtail because it just fell apart.

No luck yet but you and many other people all have the 2 pin plug wire tied onto the throttle body!

Still looking because there are so many plugs available this one must be out there somewhere.

Here is a better picture of the TB (male pin) side of that plug. This is what the pig tail needs to plug into.

Any help would be useful! Getting a used one will not work because where it's located it's sure to be very well cooked by now.

I know this is a old thread but as I've recently replaced both connectors I have some news which may help people who find this thread in the future.

I found both connectors on Ford Focus 2004/2005 models (petrol) but they're probably out there on other Ford models which were built during Ford's ownership of Jaguar.

So save yourself hours of going through catalogues and getting nowhere with Jaguar and Ford parts departments and get yourself to the nearest breakers.

Default Pigtail connector for anyone who needs it

I had the same issue of a broken pigtail connector going to the throttle body. A poor connection to it can often cause the P0171 and P0174 codes. Many mechanics will tell you to buy a new TB when it is infact just the connector (or poor connection to TB). I bought a Ford VVT solenoid connector off Rockauto and resolved the issue. You need to take a pick or a small flat head screw driver and push down on the tabs inside new connector and pull the 2 black wires that come with the Ford connector out. Once you take out black wires that come with connector, put the 2 existing red and green wires going to TB into the connector. There are numerous videos on how to fix a broken pigtail. Hope this helps. Should anyone face this issues, here is the link for the part which is an exact fit. Cheers.
