Help on VSS and VTEC harness plugs
I had a great time at the expo but I broke my VSS speed sensor there. I fixed it temporarily but on the way home my vtec connector wire snapped as well.
I have looked through the online parts list and can't seem to verify whether or not the plugs for the VSS and VTEC on the engine harness are available separate from the entire harness. I would be happy if I could just buy the inner metal connectors as that is what broke. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Re: Help on VSS and VTEC harness plugs (AW)
you broke the actual connectors on the harness?
if so, lemme check at home. i know i have an LS harness, and maybe a GSR harness too. ill try to find out which plugs are VSS and VTEC.

Re: Help on VSS and VTEC harness plugs (baonest)
For the VSS, the engine harness connector, the metal contact actually corroded. I thought you could buy that piece separately.
For the vtec solenoid connector, the wire corroded off but it looks like I can reuse the connect by pushing it out and reattaching a new wire. I have neve seen wires corode away like this before but the harness is 14 years old but the motor is only 5 years old.

ive never bought plugs separately so not sure if you can or not. i just use a old harness plugs and terminals if I need them. my VSS took a crap recently when I accidentally poured coolant all over the connector and it sat for a few months, it got corroded to **** and the speedo is all over the place 
worked perfectly fine previous to that.

Right now, I have no VTEC again as the connector wire is ripped, I will try and fix it tonight by resoldering the wire, need to find some old connectors to fix the VSS then.
