what is the best way to splice?

It's my Idle Air Control valve.

Solder or connectors?

I'm asking becasue i'm not sure if it is even possible to splice a wire leading to a sensative sensor like the IAC

ANY input is greatly appreciated as my car cannot run in the state is in now. 1st time in its life it cannot be driven!

What are you trying to accomplish?

If it were me, I would solder and heat-shrink wrap the connection, then loom it.

What are you wiring in that will affect how the car runs?

Thnks Matt, I figured solder would be the best bet.

My only concern is if the IAC valve recieves a sensative signal from wherever, then solder might make the reading out if it fluctuate or be less accurate. which would cause my car idle at 5000rpm, like it is now....

I just wanna be able to drive my car again.....
