Rebuilding connectors on engine harness

[blackout_89t]

Hey...

I am making a new engine harness from scratch (for megasquirt) and I need to utilize some of the stock connectors (ISCV, TPS, oil press., fuel injectors, and a few others).

The ideal thing to do is to completely dissemble the clips by removing the metal crimps and wires and using new crimps/wires directly into the connector. Now, I don't imagine the crimps in these 20 year old connectors are a universal off the shelf type, or are they? Has anyone replaced these crimps before? Or know where I can get ones that will fit properly for the connectors? I tried looking in the electrical EPC of the TSRM but couldn't get a part# for them.

All I need is the metal crimps that hold the wires in the plastic connectors.

Otherwise, I have cut the connectors off leaving a 2" pigtail so that if I HAVE to I can just use a straight crimp and crimp my new wires onto the pigtail of the old wire in the connectors. But I don't really want to go this route as a couple of the old wires are pretty brittle.

Any insight? I need this beast to be running again!

Thanks

The harness is sold as a unit I believe. We had rebuild kits for changing bad wiring and connections. Your local dealer might have a rebuild kit. If they do, take the parts in that you need to redo, becuase the whole kit is probably more than a harness.

That is what I am trying to do.

What "pins" did you use? Are they a standard size? Toyota only part?
Thanks!

Nah I don't need a whole harness...Or the actuall connectors, just the crimps/metal pins inside the plastic connectors.

(dont mind half painted car, work in progress)

easy way toyota use the same pins in all there connectors and it's very comon as well

just get a connector and pull at the wire and the pin should pop out befor the wire break most the time

if not get out pick set and releas them that way

after that got o local eletrca store that carries thsi type of stuff have to call around pretty much bring the pinto thema nd they oder you as much as you want

crimp it pin done
