Unhappy Brittle Fuel Injector Connectors

Earlier today the SC3 was running very rough and missing, so I pop the hood and find the #3 injector DISCONNECTED!

The problem immediately went away when I plugged it back in, but I noticed the plastic tabs on this and two other injectors were broken inwards, nothing holding them in except the rubber/silicone of the weatherpak connector. This is very, very bad.

Has anyone else had this problem? Where can I get the 6 new connectors at a reasonable price to wire into my harness, and will it happen again due to heat and age?

Thanks,
1GZ-FE Turbo

Thanks for turning me on to Tweaked Performance. Exactly what I was looking for.

What about other brittle and broken connectors like the coolant temperature sensor and the oil pressure switch connectors? Where is Dr. Tweak - just Google it?
