While waiting for my throttle body to be repaired I figured I might as well replace the PPS electrical connector, whose clippy thing broke when I initially removed it from the car. Wondering if I've found the correct replacement or not, seems to be a Toyota connector according to Amazon.

Below if my current connector.



This is what I see for sale online. I notice the conductors seem to be tin and not gold colored, so I'm wondering if this is right or wrong as I don't want to create a new problem, similar to the TPS service bulletin where Jaguar replaced tin connectors with gold connectors.



Or should I get this connector which is empty and reuse the existing wires and conductors? If so, how do the old conductors come out? Looks like the grey bit under them comes out somehow and they just slide out the back of the plug? Any special tool here?


Thanks!

 

The link you posted is for a non prewired piece and for a Toyota heat sensor module, ..others come with new pins. You can remove your pins and insert them if they are the same size.

You can damage your pin connector by improperly removing them from the connector, but it's not that difficult if you follow the vid. So, if your not sure and you'd rather solder splice them, used these for a weather sealed finish...Red Solder Seal Wire Connectors 22-18 AWG. I use these for the work I do and on my cars, there are smaller containers available...
The next Q is will the "thingee" fit as well.

 

The easy way to remove your pins from the old connector is to carefully crush the connector and break away all the plastic.
