So on my 94 del sol with a d16z6 I got a CEL today. Jumped the connector and got code 6. Cleared it. Didn't even get to turn the car over and got it again. I looked at the water temperature sensor and the wires have snapped flush to the connector.

Any help on how I can fix the connection? Is there a way to re-pin the plug? I couldn't find a new connector online. The wires have broken away with no room to splice it back on.

EDIT: So you actually can open up the clip. I'll take pictures of me putting it back together because this is super helpful. If I had a crimper I would repin it but I'm just adding wire in.

I'll have to call them since none of them around here are walk in which bothers me.

Update! I got it fixed! I decided I had nothing to lose and pulled apart the connector first.
I took a couple pictures to help show How I went about it
Here is an imgur link, and pictures below.



Soldering the new wires in. I would have used new pins with wire, but I have no means of doing that.


Where the screwdriver goes are clips that hold the pins down. Pull them back gently and the pins can slide out.



water seal. Didn't quite fit on the solder joints so I taped it


I popped this off, but I don't think I had to. Match sure you catch it!


It looks rough and I KNOW both wires are red, the green I had was too thick to use. I sharpied the green wire side black. It does work perfectly now though! CEL is gone!
