$100?! The hell?!

[Rupert]

So the little replacement connector that is supposed to fix my ever-present high idle problem (as described in the thread about it) costed me $98.98! It's just a little connector with some wires. I could practically make one. I'm pretty annoyed, and I'm thinking of returning it and find a cheaper solution. Why would a connector cost that much?

Those pre-molded connectors aren't cheap.

One solution would be to cut it off completely and use butt connectors, but long term that wouldn't be wise.  Best just to go with the connector.

You want him to use butt connectors?

junkyard?

[Rupert]

The part is a replacement for a part that Ford fucked up when they designed it, so no junkyard. Also, welcome back NACar.

The question is not why does it cost $100, but why did you actually buy it for $100 :P

[Rupert]

It's necessary, dude. I saw one online for $70 or $80, but by then, who cares. Also, I needed it by this weekend.

[Soup DeVille]

I suppose it wouldn't have been possible or advisable to just forgo the connector and solder the damned thing together, would it?

[S204STi]

Where did I say that?  I just offered it as an alternate solution.  I still think getting the connector is the best way to go.

Maybe possible. Hella unadvisable.

I don't even know what a butt connector is. It just sounds wrong.

Aren't you in some sort of mechanics class or something?  WTF are they teaching you there, how to scratch your ass and remove a drain plug at the same time?

Junkyard???

Don't knock it unless you've tried it, honey baby.

No that's me.

[S204STi]

No that's me.

Ah ok, so I assume you're proficient at that then?

At what?
I know what butt connectors are, if that's what you mean.
