86 LG4. I bumped it while replacing heater hoses and it broke the tab because it's super brittle. Trying to see if I can find a new one.

Thank you. Doesn't appear that anyone offers this connector but I'm wondering if I can just get the TPI connector since they look the same.

Yup, it's a 2-pin Weatherpak. Doesn't particularly matter what induction system, or really even the part itself, is involved.

Re: Can anyone tell me what this connector is?

That Connector was one of the Odd-Ball "Un-Sealed" Weather-Pack Series Connectors...
So very long discontinued. The only hope for an exact match is the Junk Yard.

However, the "Sealed" Variant of that Red Weather-Pack Connector may have the same Key-Ways to match the Solenoid...
And while they are also long discontinued; they can still be found as Pig-Tails sold over the Net.

Usually they come up as Evaporative Emissions Purge Valve Solenoid Connectors.

Eh, that ain't broke. It's just sort of broke. I would just keep using it 'till it doesn't work anymore.

If you’re worried about it coming apart, wrap it in some good quality electrical tape.

Or you might be able to secure it with a small, thin, nylon zip tie.
