Well if you have, you surely have noticed the little "terminal connector" crimp ends on the wires. My question is this,

Is it necissary to use those crimp on connectors or can i just plug the wire in there? I ask because i haven't been able to find the smaller of the two crimp connectors anywhere, just the large ones.

Thanks!

I'm very familiar with the connector but I don't understand what you're asking... Have you bought new terminals to use in the harness? But only the big ones?

What do you mean by "plug the wire in there?"

Have you considered just splicing your homemade wiring or whatever onto little lengths of stock harness that end in terminals?

i was looking for the terminals to crimp on the ends of the wire i'm running for my pressure exchange solenoid (or pressure sensor i don't remember which), but the only terminal connectors i could find are the larger ones for the higher gague wire.

nevermind he "plug the wire in there" mental relapse.

Still don't quite get what you're asking.

Are you looking for the actual pins to plug into the yellow connector? Do you have a spare ECU harness. If so, just pull out some pins and solder the wires to the wires from your PES, and plug the pins into the connector.

Josh - Yes, I think that's what he's asking.

Psychoreo - Oh. You may be able to order the terminals from an AMP distributor. But you're probably better off doing what Josh suggests.

You should try going to a junkyard near by and just cut the connectors you need.
