Okay so since I left it at my mechanics I called him like he told me too and he said that the car looses power but funny thing is that before last night,before I even pulled that sensor plug the car was fine it wouldn't turn off on its or anything so I don't if the mechanic is lying or he just wants more money

That plug you pulled that was broken and oxidized should be replaced. You probably could have cleaned it with a little vinegar or contact cleaner like James suggested but with it being broken to the point you cant put the metal retaining clip back on then you probably should replace it. Check the scrapyard. There are a number of older cars that have that same square connector if im not mistaken it looks like its the same as the old style (89-91) fuel injector connector from the vg. though the grooves/keyway might be slightly different you could still modify it to work but being it sounds like your maybe not the handiest guy it might be a job you should leave to someone who could help you splice and solder.

Do you think maybe that's the reason why the car turns off as soon as I turn it on? Because before that it wouldn't turn off like it did

I don't see how you are going to get anything fixed if you're not fixing the obvious. It takes longer to write about these obvious anomalies than it would for you to fix them. First things first, clean corroded terminal. Second, go to advance auto and pick yourself up some of those very small gold plated speaker spade terminals and use them to remake the connection for the plug. Third, fill the plug with gasket silicone to keep the water out. Forth, check all the other connectors and clean as necessary. When you have accomplished this, you may be surprised at the end result.

Lol I never said I wasn't getting anything fixed I'm trying to fix the obvious by asking you guys at the same time,and as for other connectors what do you mean by that? I don't want to unplug something that will make things worse like I did yesterday like I stated before car turns on but I have to accelerate it to atleast 4000rpm so it can stay running while in park,once I drive it,it doesn't stall or anything onl once I turn the car off and on but I'll go right now to where you said or an auto zone or pepboys,thanks for the tip it's appreciated

All the connectors need to be inspected and cleaned if they are oxidized. Be gentle as they will break but you have to check them. There's MAF, TPS, coolant temp sensor, all those square connectors need inspected. I recommend you a little dielectric grease when you put them back together as well.
