I snapped off an electrical connector towards the front of the engine while putting the intake back in. I don't know if it's replaceable, but I figure someone here could at least help me identify it. Am I screwed? Can I tape it back up?

The vehicle in question is a 2002 Lexus GS430.

You're not screwed, but you do need a new vvt actuator solenoid. People here call them OCV (oil control valves). But if you go on rock auto you can find dozens of replacements to choose from. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...actuator,12910

Damn, I see. I've replaced the driver's side one before, but I believe this is the right side one? Isn't this one a lot harder to reach?
EDIT: Oh wait, I'm a dummy. It's right there. Alright, let me get one, then. And, of course, thank you. I was worried for a moment. I suppose 60 bucks isn't too bad for my struggles.

Yep, easy peasy, just one 10mm bolt and that's it. And yes, make sure to order the "right hand" side with the proper connector angle. Good luck.

Want more motivation? Call the dealer and ask them how much they'd charge.
I bet it's easily $400 (for 15 min worth of work) - lol
