Is this the rear cam plug?

So this wire keeps coming out of the plug. I glued it with

locktight but it didn't hold up. I'm getting no engine error code. I also found my brake fluid plug unplugged with no engine code, btw. Thanks

With timing tensioner in pic. I figure it might be the oil filter plug or something for the vtech.

Looks like the VTEC solenoid plug. Maybe the connector is broken or maybe just not properly snapped in.

If its broken, you can either replace the connector, which may be difficult in the small space.

or later zip tie it to fix both ends together (less difficult).

Take it to a shop, maybe?

Maybe the cylinder head end of the rocker arm control solenoid connection?

Oh, I looked at the picture and I see what's going on. The pin came out of the connector.

If you disconnect the plug, you may be able to just push that pin back in...and then plug everything back in.

Fix it properly, though. Don't try to do it with loctite.

Or...if its easier, just take it somewhere to be fixed. Hopefully the connector is not broken.

it was so simple putting the connector into the plug from my coffee table. based on shape the connector could only go in 2 ways one did nothing but have a loose wire the other clicked in. I wonder if these are designed to come apart upon serious engine trouble or some asshole thought limp mode was funny.
