I may be bringing it into my local Porsche guy. I keep thinking there is another connector at the other end of the harness but maybe not. That gets above my pay grade for sure.

There is no other connector on the other end, besides the main Engine Harness connector. Taking it to a shop is your best bet, if you don't feel comfortable doing your own splices. It shouldn't cost all that much. One, maybe 2 hours labor would be my guess.

Good luck!

This should be a straightforward soldering job even if some wires are missing. If you add extra pieces they can be soldered into the original harness with no problem if you do it right, or if you get it done by someone who is good at soldering. Replacing the entire harness would be a tough task with the engine in situ. I had a similar issue committed probably by opossums, the section coming from the MAF was chewed apart just like in your case.








Good luck!
