Ordered the new sensor from Roger. But was curious about the replacement of the connector because those are the ones that typically crumble during an intake refresh.

=Highlights from another thread about similar ideas.
get a claw hammer and place the CPS connector on a brick,
With the claw hammer hit the connector with the hammer.
If the connector crumbles, then the connector is toast, if so,
then hit the sensor with the hammer only harder.
If the connector doesnt get damaged then you may get lucky and it will work
HOWEVER you should,
Order a new part it should last 20 years,
well worth the cost of admission.
Installing said part should allow future fishing trips to be completed
Since this is a critical running part only new parts should be installed
there's also a simple test to see if it floats. Place it in a bowl of water. if it goes to the bottom then it doesn't
I thought this test is for the knock sensor(s).
Ummm, that's kinda 928WW-esque.

Yep, agree with Stan. If the connector on the knock sensors is toast sensor side, then the casing on the sensor is toast at the block.
Harness sides are more robust but I change them pretty often, it's all 20 year old plastic.

We carry male and female 2 way and 3 way connector kits. We have the gold pins for the later cars.
We also carry the 6 way MAF connector
