Well, you could either dig the wire out of the rubber, unpin it and resolder it.(Which is what i had to do for one of those) Or..You could buy a whole new plug and repin it.

Im pretty sure the top plug is the bvsv though. You'll just have to buy a new one because it had 2 vacuum ports on it.

To get the plug apart there should be a notch on the top end of the connector. Lift that metal conductor up and it you should be able to push it though.

As far as the bvsv goes, Ive yet to run one on any of my motors and have never had a problem....although on my current setup ive only got 4 vac lines

Pull the rubber part out first (around where the wire used to go through)

Easy to repin as the connector looks to be in good shape.

The BVSV needs to be replaced though...

The top item you broke is your BVSV ( Bi metal Vacuum switch Valve. ) the 2nd one is a easy fix just repin the plug there is a rubber part that seats in there take that out cut back some wire and sodder in a new wire, it's no big deal just take your time and you could be fine, If you need a BVSV I am sure you can get one, I even have one if you need one. You will need to get one though, it's not good for your car to run without one on it.

It was broken when i bought the car, but even if i bought a new one what do the vacuum lines run too? and what is the purpose of a bvsv?

The Bimetallic Vacuum Switching Valve purges fuel vapor from the fuel tank via the charcoal canister to be burned in the combustion chamber. It is a pollution control device.

It only opens at a specific operating temperature.

One vacuum line goes to the BVSV from the charcoal canister. Other vac. line goes from BVSV to a port on top of the throttle body.
