Buy the connector. Several places sell it. Then break the old connector off so that you cN use the pins. Then splice in two pieces of wire. The problem you may have it appears the wire is mucked up close to the connector. I am not sure I have seen that connector with pig tail wires connected. As long as you have an inch of wire, solder new piece and heat shrink wire.

if you go to a junk yard, you might be able to get the vanos solenoid AND cut a pig tail with it. Also, check ebay for that combo OR car-part.com

Then you will need a new vanos solenoid as that one is messed up. https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...h/11368610388/
