Title: red clip in the connector that goes into the ignition coil...
Post by: staged_sho on November 03, 2015, 10:50:19 AM
..broke it...so it is loosely connected to the ignition coil.

Searched Tasca but I only see a part for the entire harness assembly.

is this connector a part of its own?

I have the same question, as I have been unable to find it as a separate part.  Shouldn't affect anything though, the bolt that holds down the coil does need to be properly torqued though.  Very little chance it will come loose.

I broke one of mine as well.  The connector itself locks onto the coil and the red clip just keeps the tab from being depressed thusly disconnecting from the coil.  I've had no issues with the one missing red clip so I don't think you'll have any future problems.  If you're worried just slap a zip tie around the connector and coil so it won't disconnect, problem solved. :D

Thanks for the replies....well...the connector slides back and forth...so the tab that locks into place is the issue too.

I agree with r1 crusher,you can use a mini ziptie to hold it in place,but the other option which is more cost effective would be ton purchase the harness connector and use the red tab.  Z     https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=4846353&cc=1503823&jnid=620&jpid=0 (https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=4846353&cc=1503823&jnid=620&jpid=0)  18.00 or so,you can also ask the dealer which a buddy of mine had a couple lying around.  Z
