These wires are on the driver's side of the engine near the closest cylinder to the firewall. There are two and one is broken. What are they? Thank you.Attached Image

Pull that plug out and reattach the wire. Pretty simple.

If you still have rough running, and it fits your budget, member Bowlsby makes a complete new harness in the $350 range...

ConeDodger, you wouldn't know where I can get these female double plug? The wire is broken off at the base and there is no way to reattach the wire.
