This is going to have to be either a fellow dsmer having the part as a spare or a junkyard hunt. Couldn't be too much at the dealer but you know dealers.

you can buy a new plug which includes a clip:

or you can find the douche bag that had my car before me and find out what he did with the clips that were on my car... I would just wait and try to get one for free ( pocket ) from a junk yard, I have been missing mine for ever and it's been fine.

They tend to pop off over time if you don't have the clips. I know this because I threw away my clips. You can zip tie around the body of the plug and then run a ziptie through that and around the bottom of the injector. Well, I've done that on the TPS and CAS; the same thing should be possible on the injector plugs.

I took the metal clips off the 1g and tossed them. I pushed the plugs in then ziptied the harness's to the fuel rail... they can't pop off since the being held in by the fuel rail/ziptie mod lol. Hey it works... those injector clips are annoying once you take them off and try to put them on you might break the injector harness plug which is a common thing you see with DSM's.

yes... we wanted to get an Evo at first but it was not affordable for us at this time so we got the SRT-4 instead.
