Unhappy vacuum switching valve

Hello everyone,
I have a 1992 Lexus ES 300 with the V-6 Toyota engine. Because of it's age the plastic connections on the two vacuum switching valves for the emission system have broken. Does anyone know where I can get two new or used ones? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Do you have a Digital Multimeter? If so you could measure the resistance of the coil, and then go down to a auto parts store and ask to see several of the relays they have on hand. As long as the coil impedance is app the same, it will work. Once you have found the replacement, you will need to figure out the common, normally open, and normally closed connections. It will take a little bit of time, but should not be to hard.

A dealer can get this for you. I think you are going to have to replace the whole thing, not just the connections. Cost about $175-$200 for the part I believe.
