Broken connection!!! Help!

I was just checking around my engine and I found a connector that another connector that wasnt plugged in. After a bit of searching I located the plug it goes into but is seems to be broken. Ide like to know what this plug does (btw it has two wires going into it black and yellow I think) so I can fix it. See the picture attached the busted plug is on the engine in the lower right-hand side with me holding the connector next to it. The connector reads PED 44.

You poor fella! Man you've got more broken connectors than I've ever seen - I'm feeling it for ya. Wish I was a few hundred miles closer so I could come see in person and help better! But don't despair - your at the right place! Have patience and we'll do what we can.

That one I'm not sure of - did it come out of the block, or the head, or intake, or what? (I can't really tell from your pic).

Thats a CTS, the yellow/black wires confirm it. Such fractures are rather common, so dont feel bad. A new sensor from the local parts store will fix you up

Remember, 2 wires is the ECM/PCM Coolant Temp Sensor. One wire is the Coolant Gauge Sender

Yea Ive found at least four broken connectors so far but that and the leaking/stalling fuel pump problem are the only things wrong with this car (besides the paint) and thankfully connectors are cheap. I appreciate all the help BTW.

Re: Broken connection!!! Help!

The coolant gauge sender Pocket mentioned is on the driver side head with one wire going to it. See if you have that much going on.
