While replacing my shift linkage since it broke I noticed a wire on my ecu pulled out which is #15 egr temp sensor. And I can't get it to go back in. It slides in but doesn't go all the way in...Is there something special i have to do?? Any help is appreciated....

Crimp where the wire goes I ive done that plenty of times and I never had a problem use a small screwdriver to push it into the plug.
 
You should just be able to push the terminal back into the connector, it might take a little force. There are two tangs that hold the terminal into the connector, make sure those aren't broken or messed up and then bend them outwards almost perpendicular to the opening on the terminal. Doing this will ensure your wire won't fall back out of the connector. If this doesn't work you are going to have to crimp on a new terminal. Just remember there are two places to crimp, one on the wire itself and one on the insulator.
