Default VTEC Solenoid( PICTURE )

I have a 99 Civic SI, im looking at my vtec solenoid this morning and i see that i have a wire hanging from it, i look in the book and it looks like it needs to be connected to a vtec solenoid connector which isn't even on the vehicle ( must of fell off or something)

Can i buy just the connector or do i need a whole new set up? I'm new to hondas!

Can you take a picture of it?

There are two plugs. One coming off the vtec solenoid and one coming off the pressure switch. I'm assuming your missing the single wired connector. Did It rip out of the harness, or are both ends there, just not connected due to a missing connector?

The oil pressure switch has all the right wires connected to it, it's just the single wire under the cover hanging out.

See if Rywire.com has just that plug. They sell the additional components for doing VTEC swaps, so they may have what you need.

Or just go to radioshack and get a bullet style connector. Unless the clip is still attached to the other end of the wire.. how in the hell could it have fallen off both ends simultaneously??

If I got it right the single wire that comes outta the solenoid is hanging in the air with no connector on it. Which leads me to believe the connector is probably still clipped into the other connector on the side that goes to the harness. I cant see how both sides would depin or rip out atthe same time.

any connector will do fine.... you can even solder that together if you want.
