Was wondering if anyone has the part number or preferably a link to the 1fz injector connectors. Several of the lock tabs broke when trying to remove them.
 
You can put little rtv on the injector side of the plug that will hold them together, if you don't want to change them out
 
Thx
 


Just an FYI for you guys,

I ordered from the second website, and the connectors did not fit. Not sure if anyone else had the same issue. I didn't want to pay $11 each from the dealer. Just ordered another set of 6 from toyotametro's website for $6.09 each.
 
$11 is two bucks over dealer list price. And you should be able to do better than dealer list.
 
Anyone have a vid link or tell tale how to get the pins out of the 90980-11153 connectors? I've removed plenty of pins from various connectors but these are having none of it. There isn't a "ledge" to pry from ... just the vertical wall of the locking tab. Even tried a sharp darning needle to no avail.

I either need someone to help me with this ... or send me a couple gallons of gasoline :D

Images a little blurry, sorry. This connector is different than yours but there should be a locking cover that needs to be removed then you can get to the locking tab and remove the pins from it.

I did. But on this particular connector there isn't a "ramp" to allow the tool to be inserted to release or compressed the tab and lock on the pin.

Dan,
Did you try removing the red rubber gasket? Maybe the pin lock is underneath that. Toyota always uses a locking mechanism for its connectors. The lock has to be loosened (not necessarily removed) so that you can release the contacts using one of your tools shown in post #8, or they may require something sharper like a dental pick depending on the size. But first find the plastic lock device.
 
Can't help too much at the moment but have you checked here?

You'll get a laugh out of this ... found it in the PDF you linked: Toyota's directions: "HINT: ... Please construct and use the special tool (to remove the pin from the connector". So, per their drawing, the pin removal tool is 1mm thick (!) and tapers to .2mm at the front of the tool's ramp. Right.

Advice: Just buy the already made up pins and pigtails, cut the wires and old hardened connector from the loom, and solder/crimp in place.

What a RPITA. Thanks Toyota.

Tom, yes I first removed the white plastic locking clip (not shown in my photo).

It's really not that difficult, there are several commercially made tools, I have a collection of them that I never use, somewhere? Prefer to make them to fit the job, the strips that hold windshield wiper refills in are perfect, just the right size, amount of spring, a couple of minutes on the sander, done. The drawing posted is good, but doesn't need to be very precision, make to fit.

Save yourself the hassles and buy a new harness. Thats what I did and , because of all the posts I've seen like yours lately, I'm glad I did.
 
Good thread - I just got off the phone with injector RX. I broke a few tabs on my injector connectors when I went in to check my injectors. They requested a pic to verify which connector I had so I pulled #5 off (being the easiest to get to with the throttle body still on). Anyhow, glad to know a good vendor to get them from. 6 connectors, with gaskets and terminals (no wire) were 22.50. Not bad at all.

I put together this cheat sheet for the 3FE injector housing, terminal and grommet. I confirmed that all of these numbers are good from the Olathe website and also have included a link to a set of 6 from amazon which have purchased and confirm they are the exact match to my 91.
