Replacing Broken Fuel Injector connectors
95 4Runner SR5 185k. I had to take my heads off to fix a blown head gasket. When removing the connectors to the fuel injectors, I happened to break a few of the clips, since they were so brittle after many years of engine heat and use. They still will slide on, they just don't 'lock' in place when re-connecting them. I would like to replace the broken ones with new ones if possible. Has anyone had this same problem? Please help. I really don't want to secure them with any kind of tape, if I don't have to.
Thanks,Brian

I second the zip tie method. I had a couple get cracked when I changed out my injectors. Zip tied them on and had no problems. I must say that I expected some of the plugs on the wiring harness to be brittle, so I shopped for replacments and could not find them. My options ended up being junkyard parts that were in the same condition or buying a harness from Toyota. If somebody knows where to buy them, let me know so I can pick up some as spares. The square style injector plugs used on Nissans and many other vehicles are VERY easy to find. I got them at Autozone when I had to fix some on my uncle's Maxima. It's the Toyota rounded plugs that are difficult to obtain.
