Have a 99 Mazda Millenia 2.3L Miller engine, I know it has electrical issues, the engine will quit running when I noticed the TCS lights both come on. It will then leave me soon stranded. I found a electrical plug on the rear of the engine around manifold, it was causing a grounding out problem, but the plug must be damaged? I can mess with the plug cause the engine to quit running. I can hear a selonoid switching off & on. What is this plug called around the engine? can it be replaced? what is the selonoid that i hear? do i need to replace this? I wish i can find a electrial diagram online for this 2.3L. Thanks

Start with a scan for trouble codes. I don't understand which wire conector you are refering to and if the connector is affecting the running of the engine, disconnecit it and check for corrosiong or contaminations. Clean and retest.
