making a S4 N/A engine harness (from ECU)
I am looking for any info on where to get these connectors;
coolant temp connector
vac. solenoid connectors
BAC connector
I am looking to make this due to the fact that Mazda doesn't make this part any more and having 20 plus year old wiring is the cause for most issues.
Please let me know if you have any sites that might have these connectors available to buy. I know that bosh make most of them, its just a matter of finding a distributor for them.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
The coolant temp is a simple bullet connector, and the bac connector is a fuel injection plug connector.
Both available at almost any auto parts stores.

The wiring itself is rarely the problem, unless someone's hacked it up. Replacing old, brittle connectors is a good idea, but replacing the actually wiring would be a lot of work for little gain.
Peeling off damaged parts of the old insulation and rewrapping it is another good idea, as this is what has kept those wires protected for all these years.

the only reason i want to make my own is because A: I like to know that everything in the harness is done and done right. and B: I want to add a heavy duty Grounding spider to the harness for a clean install.
I have rebuilt several harnesses for friends but never had to buy the connectors, normally they cut them off of junk yard 7's. After going to the dealer and finding out that Mazda no long supples this part made me want to find all the part so in case something happens i can fix it.
I hope that makes more sense as to why i am looking for this info. P.S. i have already found all the same color coded wire to replace the harness but one gauge larger (upgrade)

Again, that's totally unnecessary. There's nothing wrong with the stock grounding system as long as it's in good shape. Cleaning up all the stock ground points is much easier and much cheaper than adding a bunch of extra wires everywhere, and will work just as well. Even if you did want to add extra grounds, these are easily located out of sight without all the effort of integrating them into the harness.
