Default ECU connectors contacts part number needed Tyco Amp

Mods, first post. If in wrong section please move to correct section.

I am looking for part numbers and/or a siupplier for the contacts that are used in a 95 Integra ECU connectors.
The car was flooded last year and salt water was also mixed in.
The car stopped running last week and wouldn't start.
I traced it back to the ECU and found many corroded contacts in the connectors.
I opened up the ECU and there was much corrosion and oxidation inside as well.
I have another ECU on the way. However I am positive that many of the connector contacts will need to be replaced.
There are 2 sizes . I have found out that the connectors and contacts are made by Tyco-Amp.
However I cannot find out part numbers for the contacts or connectors.
I called a few places but they were reluctant to divulge the part numbers and would only sell in super large quantities.
Does anyone know the part numbers for these contacts and where I can get them.
I am sure once I have the PN's I could get them from many of the major electronic parts distributors.
My other option is to go to the junkyard, cut off the 3 connectors from the harness, with ~ 6 inches of wire and then solder splice, heatshrink each wire connection.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome.

I suggest you go with plan B. ECU terminals purchased in small amounts are going to be insanely expensive (at my work, we sell them for $2 or so a piece). If you can find a junkyard car to cut the harnesses off, that would be much easier.

Do you know what the amp-tyco part numbers are for the contacts?
Does anyone know?
I've emailed amp-tyco and am awaiting a response. Don't know if I'll get one.
The part number quest continues.
Thanks

Good luck. You can't buy them unless you buy in huge quantities. My old roommate used to make obd2-obd1 harnesses, and it took him the better part of 6 months to locate the part numbers and someone willing to sell them...but he had to buy in huge quantities.

Which connectors do you need? The female ECU plugs or the male harness plugs?

Actualy the ECU has male contacts (pins) and the harness connectors have female contacts (sockets)
I need the harness connectors and the female contact sockets.
And there are two sizes, with the majority of contacts being the smaller sized ones.
I have an ECU that I received in the mail yesterday. The connectors are on my Son's Integra and I will be seeing him on Saturday.
At the least , we will extract the worst looking contacts and try to clean them by scraping with an xacto blade, etc.
I'll probably dunk all 3 connectors into white vinegar (old pinball corroded contact trick) flush with distilled water and then soak in alchohol to evaporate anty traces of water.
I've been in electronics for ~ 30 years and I repair all kinds of gear, especially vintage synths, effects and guitar amps.
I am well aware of funky problems that are caused by cruddy connections.
That's why I would like to recrimp all the contacts.
However, we need to get the Integra going again and I can rework the contacts at a later time.
I did get a response back from Amp but they are requesting a picture of the connectors.
Once I take them I'll email them to Amp and hope for some correct part numbers.

Thanks

The plugs themselves on the ECU are still female, even if the contacts are male.

Good luck.

Yes, your right about that, they are notched to accept the harness connectors.
I think it's called reverse sex, when the connectors are like this.
