Question Throttle body connector issue

I recently damaged the connector from the engine harness to throttle body by breaking off the locking tab. I was looking for a replacement connector housing if it exists. I wasn't able to find one as of yet. To specify, it is not the throttle body side. The connector connected to the engine harness, which is intended to connect to the throttle body is what is damaged. Any help would be appreciated.

Quick picture is worth a thousand words...

Then we can see if it's sold separately

90980-11858.

Be advised: there are two white wires next to each other at pins 2 & 3. One is part of a shielded pair (black and white), the other is a ground connection going back to the ECM. Do not mix these two up.

Do you have the tool to remove the pins safely from the connector body? The part number is a bare connector body and you'll need to transfer the wires to the new body. I broke the lock tab on one of my ECM connectors and had to do this same job not too long ago. It was supremely tedious.

These work great for de-pinning a lot of different connectors

Thank you for all the help. This is great info and suggestions. I am able to repin the connector and I appreciate the heads-up about the wires.

As lobux posted, you can get the connector from Toyota/Lexus, shouldn't be too bad. The rubber boot however is not sold separately, so try not to mess it up - it shouldn't be an issue, but I thought I'd mention it.

Jeff, in the same general area, right side tucked below the TB is the PCV valve.. What is the least painful way to access it?

Mine was changed during the ELF gasket recall.. But I fear the hose / clamp is weak and I can see build up from oil vapor now..
The orange is loaded with black dust attached to oil vapor film likely..

You only need one for almost all of Toyota. You can see mine here:


I made it from a turkey lacing kit. I just took one of the needles, filed it square 1mm x 1mm, and put a beveled tip on it. It works perfectly, and measures out exactly the way Toyota says to make the tool.

New video of this problem. My retaining latch broke when I did the valley plate repair, and I finally got around to this today. I didn't show the whole job - no real point in that - but you can see removing a pin from the old body clearly. Stuff the old pin in the new body in the right place, and all is happy.
