Throttlebody Wire Pigtail Part Number

Does anybody have the part number for the stock pigtail?

Despite tying to be gentle and careful taking it off to put my TB spacer on, I STILL broke the danged thing. Yes, I pulled the red slider all the way out, and I knew the tab was hung up, but still broke it.

At this point though I've fabricated a metal clip [from a large cotter pin] to hold it on, which is working fine and is probably 1000 times stronger than the plastic retainer, I would still like to replace it with a new stock-appearing plug.

Since the last time I tried to buy a pigtail [when I extended the MAF wire] I got nowhere with my local dealer parts department, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'll take a look tonight to see if it is a standard plug available from one of the electronics houses. So far, Ford has been consistent in using Chinese plugs that I cannot source over here.

I broke mine putting on my spacer too. I fixed it with a dab of silicon holds it on there tight but not so tight I cant pull it off.

I've found, after breaking a few connectors, if you warm them slightly with a heat gun, before trying to disconnect them, they have a less chance of breaking.
