Will a 5.0L injector work ok in a 5.7L?

Definitely shrink wrap. I'd focus on lining up the lock tab, then systematically butt connect one wire to the corresponding black wire. How bad is your original connector?

I assume your link was for a new pigtail? Just cut and solder each wire one at a time. Use shrink tubing. No butt connectors.

It's almost completely deteriorated. I don't think it's making good contact anymore, cause now the engine is running rough, with a very high idle.

Is it visually ok to compare the two together to match up the individual wires?

That's how I'm gonna do it. I'm just not going to cut them all at once. Just cut one, then it's easy to tell which wire it goes to cause you still have the old connector still connected, for reference. Then solder and connect the new wire. Do them all one by one, so there is no chance of connecting the wrong wires. The plastic on my 4 pin connector has cracked almost all the way off, making it almost impossible to properly connect the wire. O'reilly's has the new connector for around $22, but you might be able to find a cheaper one online somewhere.


Here is one:

Nevermind, I take that back. They have the shady practice that many companies do where they show a cheap price tag, but then when it comes time to pay it's something totally different. $5 went up to $20 when it came time to check out lol. That's a 400% price increase. May as well go get it from oreillys and not have to wait on shipping.

Yea, I wasn't thinking about soldier- I don't have one. Yep soldier and shrink wrap and you're good. Let us know the details.
