Fuel injector wire knicked.

I saw this when changing some sensors. Can I fix this with electric tape or what would be the best fix until I can get a new on?

Clean it and wrap tightly with tape and order a new connector and solder in place with correct components.

No Tape, it'll get unwrapped and suck into the engine. Just leave it until you get a replacement pigtail. They are pretty cheap and most parts stores should have them in stock

Both these guys are right, but the tape would bother me too. If you clean it really well the tape shouldn't let go, but it's also difficult to get that spot clean because of the decades of gunk built up on the wire.

Honestly to me it looks like you just scraped the insulation; it doesn't look deep enough to be bare wire, or are my eyes deceiving me?

If so, I'd carefully tuck it back in and not worry. Your 1994 should have the plastic spacer ring instead of the earlier model metal ring, which was prone to chafing the wires and shorting them out.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks that's too insignificant to care about? If it gets worse, maybe do something, but as is I wouldn't lose any sleep.

OK Mr. I hit submit first! I seem to lose more than I win there.

Clean the wire with a dab of electic cleaner and cover the nick with some liquid tape or a dab of RTV.
