just buy a pigtail much easier to do make sure to get about 1in-2in's of extra wire off of it to wire it in.

this is the only thing keeping the car from running. i just got back from an 10 hour search through almost all the salvage yards within a 100 mile radius. no one has that damn car. so im going to use but connectors to connect them and put sililcone in the connector to hold it still.

anyone have a picture?
I also went to both the ford dealerships in my area and no one has ANYTHING. but ALLDATA did give me a pretty good diagram.

i just done know what side to start on.

Forced4 motorsports should have the pigtail you need. And check your TFI module.
