Broke this sensor. Need to identify it.

Sensor is threaded into the top of the engine on the driver side. It is located directly behind the right side of the intake. The black plastic sensor is about 3inches long and is cylinder shaped.

Also, where can a get an injector clip? Attaches/secures the top of the injector to the fuel rail?

That's your oil pressure sensor. You will more than likely have to go to the dealer to get the injector clip.

i ran without one for about a week... oil pressure is normally fine, and the sensor would not change that...

yea, you can run around without them for a little while. definitely not something you want to leave broken......also much easier to fix while the intake is off.
