tpi harness fixing
heres a question
I got this MAF cold start tpi harness from a 1986'ish iroc-z but a few of the plastic connectors are damaged such as the locking tabs broken off etc etc. aside from this the harness has only two cut wires and they are grounds.
I paid 12 bucks for the harness from pick a part on 1/2 price day .... now would it be worthwhile to replace all these connectors with new ones and recover the harness with that plastic tubing and still make a good profit on the harness. Or are the maf cold start harnesses too undesireable compared to the speed density ones to make this effort worthwhile.
Where do I find every connector at, I see them on ebay but never for like the air diverter valve and the other hard to find ones

You could grab some of them from other cars at the junk yard. Just need the tool to take them apart. Saw someone post a few months back a place where you could buy any connector. Can't remember what company, might have been delphi. As a last resort, you could buy them from a dealership.

Way I read your post, you are getting this to resale? Not sure a factory harness of this type would be worth any real money though. Pretty common and not a whole lot of people would be needing one anyway, and those connectors and the plastic loom covering is darned expensive new.

Also, I don't know how large Consumer Auto Parts is, but I know they are in New England and carry almost everything.
