okay, so first some basics car is a 1991 nissan sentra SE-R i'm currently undergoing a BB swap and well while dropping motor out of car forgot to disconnect the TPS and well ripped the wires out of the back of the connector.....
what are my options to fix this??? my only thought is to get another connector with some harness wires still attached and then to basicly splice and dice a new one together... any input is greatly appreciated..

My guess is if you're careful enough you may be able to put the wires back into the connector. I did something like that when I pulled the head out of an escort many moons ago. I think I pulled the head with the crankshaft position sensor still connected. With no luck at the junkyard, I ended up taking the connector apart and putting the wires back on. My SR20VE engine came with the exhaust solenoid connector wire cut, and I haven't put the engine in, so I'm facing the same issue, and I may end up repairing it just like last time.

Did it pull the pins out with the connector or did it rip the wires right out of the pins leaving you with bare wires?
If you've still got the pins you should be able to put them back in the connector as long as you've got a wiring diagram that tells you which pin goes where. If you've got bare wires your best bet would probably be the slice and dice, but make sure you do it right, no crimp connectors, solder, heat shrink and maybe some electrical tape over the heat shrink for good measure.

ya its a lil half and half not enough wire on wire left to connect correctly... got new tps sensor from mr. miko just waiting for it to get here so i can toss it on and i shot you a pm about seals!!! thanks again.. and as far the slicing goes it should be pretty straight forward no.. just put the new stuff where the old was...
