IAT/MAF connector:

I got a P0113 code the other day so I went to check out the sensor and saw that the wire was disconnected from the connector. Is there an easy fix for this? Do they sell a female pigtail for this?

I was afraid of that. That happened to me one time and I ended up buying a used harness from a junkyard. It was like $60.

You may be able to open the connector and repair it.

^^

I think that's the better way to go before buying a used harness. My connector too looks a bit scary-ily stretched.

At least it's a basic wiring issue, and his MAF didn't fry.

If "junkyard" is your choice, then there's no harm-no loss in trying to pry open the connector and fix what you have. (oops, it looks like NmexMAX beat me to that line of thought.)

Good luck, OP.

Nice thing with the JY item is that you'll have essentially every other harness/connector you might never need, for cheap.

I keep one handy for my A32.

I had the p0113 code, i checked the wires on the connector like the op posted, they were all fine and connected but i just pushed them into place and i started up the car and the code was gone and my acceleration seemed to be back, it use to hesitate a little around 3000 3500 rpms, but i took it for a drive and floored it a couple times and everytime it just jumped to 6000rpm everytime, just thought id share my experience.

I have mine zip tied because the wire is already looking a little stressed/fatigued, so I can see how it would come out/rip, etc.
