Im sure some dealership in the country has one. When I was peicing a car back together I had to get alot of parts from other dealers throughout the US. I tried looking a few online places for you with no luck.

I had the same problem a while back. I went to a local junkyard and found a V6 car. I decided to try that cable and it worked fine. The only difference is that it's a little longer so it curls over the top of the intake a little more.
