No, stop kidding, parts are 5cent/each at local dealer, so don't care about.
May one hint for others: There are many, many cables to ECU, badly some showing the same colours we are looking for like yellow/white. Don't tap the first you see, check first if you got the right one, either by detecting the pin (was impossible for me, to many cables) or by piercing a small nedlee into the cables you found, unplug the transducer and MAF connectors and use a multimeter/circuit analyzer to see if there is a signal from connector to needle. If not, it's the wrong and you need to search again.
I agree, there are lots of wires and many look similar or the same. If you unplug the harness from the computer using the quick disconnect you can unscrew the one retaining screw on the plastic harness cover and pull it back which allows you to see all the wires much easier.
