Default 0 fuel pressure

So I was having intermittent problem with the car turning off till yesterday it wouldn't turn on and I've had zero fuel pressure since and today went thru everything and found this



Does anyone know how to remove the pin from the plug so I can repair the wire or where I can get a new plug?

Thanks

Rockauto.com should have it, without the year I couldn't find the exact one. Expensive little buggers too

It looks to me like at some point somebody poked that wire with a probe while testing for voltage.

The hole left in the jacket by the probe allowed the wire to get compromised with corrosion which increased the resistance in the wire at that point.

The increased resistance caused heat which completed the destruction of the wire, until eventually it failed completely.

I've never seen one that bad before. Lesson learned... Don't poke holes in wire jackets to test for voltage.

They sell a tool to push out the pin. You'll need it. You might find it at a large electronics store like Fry's or a supplier type store, not Radioshack. I just finished replacing the fuel system harness. Its a pain and hard to find. I would suggest just repairing it. Thats what I did on one plug. Cut wire, butt connector, solder and heat shrink.
