loose wires

I was changing the oil today and realized the connector for the knock sensor was broken and the connection was very loose. Could this cause problems starting? I am having very almost the same problem as 91bird305 but my car starts fine first ting in the morning but after the car warms up and you shut it of if you don't let it cool all the way down it starts then sputers and my plugs look very similar to his

I think i got it fixed already. i changed the connctor and so far no problems and i was also wrong about my plugs they were not fuel up they showed signs of being lean and detonating. I think this has been my problem since day one of owning this car. by the way hows your head?
