Broken TPS connector, how to replace?

[ae86ma70]

My 7MGTE TPS connector is broken. It stays in place most of the time, but lately I've had to wrap some silicone self-fusing tape around it to keep it in place. I have a replacement pigtail, but cannot figure out how to remove the pins from either connector. I've "de-pinned" many other connectors with no problem, but I cannot figure this one out. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I don't want to cut the wiring.

Thanks in advance.

use a de-pinning tool, insert it in from the plug side, not the wire side. it can be tricky, but they will come out.

Well, I figured it out, but it cost me a TPS connector housing. Anyone have a source for these? I bought a used TPS to get the one I just destroyed.

When delinking just look down at the connector and look for the tab that is holding the pin in. If you just stick a tool in there and start pushing you might ruin the locks for the pins. There's always a tab to pry out a tAd and the pin will slide right out.

Yeah, I tried looking into it with several different light sources and didn't have much luck. I killed two of the locks.

The TPS connector in the link is different from mine. Mine is on the right.

Can I use a newer style TPS and just recalibrate the sensor in the EMS software without having to re-tune my fuel maps?

these are NOT exactly like stock, but they are very similar and take the same pins. I used them on my car. http://easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Connectors/Sealed/SM-MT/sm-mt.html

I don't see anything on that page that looks like what I need, either. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions thus far, but I'd like to replace the connector with one that is the same as the original. The connector pictured in the left thumbnail in my above post has no way to lock onto my TPS. I can't imagine using it as a substitute for my existing one. Maybe I can just epoxy the wires in the housing that I broke?

my mistake, thought you had posted CPS not TPS.

come to think of it, i may have an extra plug from my old 88 harness, ill check when i get home.

Well, I'm glad that you posted that anyway, because I'm always looking for places to buy those sorts of things from. Your efforts to locate the plug will be appreciated. WTB ad located here.
