It was running on 3 cylinders after I had just installed a new clutch and turbo upgrade, so I was checking over things and wiggled the #2 injector wire and she started running on all 4 cylinders.

I have new connectors on order and will be making a new injector harness.

I'm watching that thread, for now I need something quicker, $19 for 4 connectors and a little construction time

Another reason to have my injector wireing (and several other things) heat wrapped!

David
Where are you getting the connectors?
I'm having similiar problems with other under hood connectors and was thinking
of making a new under hood wire harness.

Wow, that's a good price. $20 I'd gladly spend as I know mine aren't too much better then David's

I saw your post and called my local NAPA ( 20 miles away ) none in stock, so I just ordered from the link above.

I had the exact same problem a few years back. Sourced all the boots and connectors from the dealer. The only part I couldn't find was the boot for the AFM plug. I posted the part numbers some time ago. I have no idea if that post is still available.

Same problem here. I think a mandatory connector check should be on the list for all new 951 owners, since literally every connector in my engine bay needed to be re-wired or otherwise repaired.
A simple check with a multimeter should tell you where your connectors are shorting out.

I removed the other connectors this weekend, while the 1 pictured was really bad, 3 of the 4 were bad.

New connectors will be here tomorrow.
