    Is there an easy way to pull these wire plugs out of the housing so I can reattach these wires? Also in the 2ndIMG_20180823_180308121.jpg IMG_20180823_193425553_LL.jpg IMG_20180823_192123571.jpg IMG_20180823_180452812.jpg photo with the 4 bare wires and 2 bare wires, what are these to and does anybody know where I can get replacement plugs? If not, could I just use a generic 4 plug and 2 plug and re-solder at both ends?

    Thanks

    well the connectors were pretty easy to figure out. can someone tell me if the blue wire on the upper cam sensor (passenger side of engine) is on the left (passenger) side or the right (drivers) side?

    Also, I am still at a loss for what the wires in the middle of the 2nd picture are for. There is a group of 2 and a group of 4 wires. do these go to 1 plug? or 2 separate plugs? what do they go to? If i can't find the 1 side to the plug i will probably just cut them at both ends and solder a new plug of a different style...

    Actually I just used a couple very small flathead screwdrivers and the plugs came apart very easy.

    You can probably purchase the individual pins and re-use the plastic plugs. The Electrical Depot sells pins for various plug types, as well as the needed tools to re-crimp. I've used them for other brands of plug pins, never Toyota's but it wouldn't hurt to ask them if they have Toyota plug compatible pins. theelectricaldepot.com/

    Thanks, I but I just soldered them to the existing pins. The issues I'm having currently are in post 2.

    haha, that I can not. I would send a pic of the face of the female plug end to the guy at Electrical Depot and see if he can ID it. I'd be happy to look at my truck for the missing side, but I'm away from my truck for the week.
