pic doesnt work

 

picture working

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

try to straigten those metal teeth. then try to see if it will plug n..duct tape ..i did the sane thing yesterday.i was able to carefully straighten the teeth and use ductape cause i messed up my **** up too but mineworks ..soon i will get a new vtec solenoid..if i remember its the oil pressure clip..

yeah, thats the bastard thats been giving CEL code 22's on my EG6, took the solonoid off to find a damn 1cm long insect, still in 1 piece blocking the mesh in the solonoid gasket!

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
