So people know what pins we need to find, here's a few pics:





These are very common and are used on a LOT of other manufacturers ECU harnesses. Here is a link I found which might help someone find a donor pin.

tyco electronics. I clicked on about a MILLION things to get there so I don't know exactly how I found it. The Evo9 ECU have the same type of pins in the harness? I'd imagine it used the same sizes. There are large pins and small pins. The .070's are the large pins and the .040's are the small pins.

I found these that seem to be the same size 175265-1 at www.newark.com, made by tyco. I'm ordering 10 of them to see if they work. Another $1.22 down the drain,lol.

Pop out pin 64 and measure the square tip. It's probably 1.8mm x 2.3mm(or 2.5mm). To pop out the pin, take a presicion flathead screwdriver (glasses repair type) and pop up the white plastic rectangle holder on the top of the harness. It will come up about a 1/16" at the most. Its just enough to allow the pin to slide out. NExt, just take the screwdriver and lift up the plastic clip holding the pin in from the front of the connector. I hope that made SOME sense,lol.

Your rom ID is not 94170008? Wasn't that a standard for 03 evo's?

There's a crimp tool you need for these connectors too. And its gonna run you a lot more than $1.22.
