    And where I can order a new one?

    I have a 1999 SR5 4X4 V6 Manual transmission, that would not fire up when cold, I suspect these wires are to blame.

    Short story = Since there were only 2 small wires on this connector, I simply pulled the adapters and reconnected with similar copper wire and electrical tape which did the trick, but I would prefer to replace with a new one.

    Long story = Out of the blue, she wouldn't start one morning, with no previous issues what soever. The engine would turn over but never fire, unless I cranked it for like a few minutes then a few sputters and it would start.

    I knew the battery was good, starter was good (I'm sure I am beating the heck out of it though). I suspected no spark or no fuel. I decided to start with the easy fuel filter change since it was time and I figured if that maybe it was so clogged that the fuel could not push through it. Changing the fuel filter did nothing. Eventually I noticed these wires were obviously fried, so I searched online forever and could find nothing at all.

    Since the engine would fire easily after it was warmed up, I figured this all has to do with some sort of cold start valve or something. Maybe these wires are related, but I am unsure.

    Either way, after repairing this connection she starts right up cold.

    Any help is appreciated.
