Default VTEC sol connector, any other plugs like it ?

Mine snapped off on the harness side but I can't separate the plug(s) that's how this happened. Are there ANY other plugs like this on 90's-2000 Honda/Acura's ? the junk yard near me(hours drive) barely has any VTEC equipped Honda's. And if you do find one someone's usually picked off the VTEC components ! there's no way I can get this at the dealer as the WHOLE harness would need to be bought/new VTEC sol. i'm not very good(I suck) at re-pining connectors either any suggestions welcome.

thx
here's the pic of the one i'm talking about.

find a yard with the car (and reasonable prices) and phone/email them.
wont cost much to ship and you wont waste gas/time.

Its a single wire. A bullet connector that's weatherproof is perfectly acceptable. Had one on mine for like 6 years now.

so in theory I can bypass the plug and it will still work, no ?

will probably be getting a rywire mil-sepc harness cause mine is sooooo brittle and old(94) but this should hold up.

I used the oem fog light male and female plugs when I ran my wire. Its a single connector like that one, you'd just have to solder them in.

might sound dumb but when you solder your new connection research the term ''thinning'' when soldering. you would be surprised on how many people don't actual know how to solder correctly

Yea, I'm currently in a navy school learning about nuclear grade soldering and specs. Turns out they just stole everything from nasa's specs in the 80s. Pretty minute detail ****.

No its mostly pcb repair type stuff. Good for inside the ecu, not much else, but they really do frown on wire splices of any kind. Its more of a practice type thing, just use a lot of flux and 63/37 w/ resin flux.
