I was cleaning my throttle body and i broke one wire connection plug.
It is coming from a thick wire harness

My car won't start as of now, no crank no click. just something turning.

This wire connector is impossible to fix, i dont know what to do.

Can someone help me idenify this wire and suggest what i can do?

Thanks a lot

I was thinking this might be the negative to the starter? it is a one wire.

I debating if its the starter or the starter senoid because the car don't start anymore.

To fix this this connection, what are my options? buy a new black connection thing?

solder it back?.
 
You can replace it with a basic spade connector

I second this. If its what I think it is then yes its for the started solenoid. There are 2 wires that go to your starter, one that bolts one and this one. Replace the broken connector with a female spade connector, you can get them at any auto parts or home improvement store.

It's not considered the "negative" for the starter. The starter grounds via it's mount.

Reach your hand down there and feel around to see if there is a single, small gauge wire still connected to the starter solenoid or not. If not, then that's probably it. Cut the connector off and crimp on a spade connector. A spade connector sheathed in plastic would be ideal. And reattach the wire to the solenoid terminal. And that's it - problem solved.
 
like everyone said it looks like the starter solenoid connector. if you can give us the color of the wire as well we would be able to tell you definitly what and where it goes to
