vtec solenoid hopefully your can still plug the connector on there.

Civicse

is that right under the valve cover? looks to me like the vtec solenoid?

ggangtong81

so if i can still plug in the connector, i don't need to worry about it?

CALIdelsolSIR

chances are the connector won't connect....try is and let us know how it goes

ggangtong81

if i buy a replacement, how much do they run?

i broke mine off right there too a while back, found the part and superglued it.. a year later still kickin'

you'll have to replace the entire soleniod if you cannot find the broken pieces or cannot getto glue them.

vtec solonoid is the green/yellow wire to the left, the bit you broke with the 2 pins is the vtec pressure sensor.

If you've got any soldering skills you can just cut the connector off the harness and solder the wires directly onto the sensor. Then maybe use a hot-glue gun to seal the solder joints or some heat shrink tubing. Unless the prongs in the sensor have broken contact internally
