the one from the 02 connector to the frame rail on the drivers side?
if it can't be repaired or you can't find a similar peice at a parts store run a wire with eyelets on each end

I would think a yellow butt splice would work fine...

You can solder it until you get a new one. Just make sure it has good coverage and has a good bond.

I actually got a replacement for mine at Walmart - oddly enough, they had a large gauge wire with eyelets that was about the right size, and it bolted up no problems. Found it back in the automotive section.
