TPS 3 Pin Female Connector Help!!!

[dhkemp91]

The connector coming out of the front of the tps, not the one coming out of the bottom, is badly corroded. I have searched and searched for days trying to find a 3 pin female connector to replace it with and cant find anything. I have already cut the connector off and so now i dont know what to do. Anyone know what i can use to replace it???? Thanks so much!!

didnt attempt to clean it with electrical cleaner first? shouldnt of cut it ...and i would say go to a junk yard like pull a part and look for either a 300zx or a j30 for the plug

No I didn't. It was pretty bad but i still should have tried. Now im stuck. Is there any chance just the metal female pins inside the connector are sold anywhere?

as far as the female end...the best and cheapest way is find a junk yard...where do you live? if i had a spare i would just give it to you..but im clean out btw very very clean 300...my 300zx only has 60,000 miles but needs paint..

Shoot. I live in Topeka, KS. I had to drive out of state to get this 300. Probably unlikely to be too many in a junkyard close. Im gonna have to fabricate something somehow i guess. Thank you! It actually has a few dents here and there and could use paint as well. But i havent been able to drive it lately. I'm having quite a few issues with the engine idle, and other things.
