I broke the plug to my idle control valve. I bought a new plug housing. Easy. But I’ve had a devil of a time finding the right socket pins for the housing. Several weeks have been stalled waiting for 80 cents worth of pins that show up and are the wrong size.

So, knowing the 914 has to drive next weekend, I went full DACO and soldered a pigtail of wires into the ICV and then crimped them into place.

About to find out if it works, and will continue to work for a couple weeks while I sleuth out the right sockets for the plug Wish me luck!
