Default Broke a sensor. Need Help!

Actually I pulled the wires out of the plug that goes into the sensor. Now I don't know what sensor it is. And also I was wondering if I could put them back into the plug. If I can I need to know what wire goes where. The sensor is on the back of the intake manifold and it's connected to the brake booster line. I can't seem to find out what it is.

Go to a chevy dealer and tell them what you need. Then look at the plug when they hand you the part, and say thanks have a nice day and dont pay for anything.

If you want to try to repair it you will need a soldering gun. You can pick one up from your local Walmart. But if you need to replace it, then you will need to pick up a lug kit...also from walmart.

Yeeeah that looks like the M.A.P to me too. If is does in fact go to the Brake booster its gotta be a Vac line. haha forget to disconnect something before removing the intake by chance?

Here is a schematic showing where the wires connect so you can repair it.

Yup.

Found out it is the M.A.P. Sensor. Going to try to find a pigtail or maybe get some wiring stuff from autozone and try to fix it.

You arent going to have too much luck at autozone. You would be better off going to a radio shack. Someone who specializes in electronics. Like I said, all that you need is a soldering iron and some solder and you should be able to fix it.
