I'd call it "Dave".

The newer Mazdas use those solenoids. If you just need some on the cheap and if they have pick and pull junkyards in Germany you can probably find one, but I don't know how common Japanese cars are over there.

dave..

This are the connectors of a RX7 S7 (96+) solenoid.
I just want to get rid of those solenoids and want to replace them with Porsche/Pierburg solenoids, but without cutting my harness.
So I want to know the name of this connectors to make some adapters.

Some places call it a VSV, or vacuum solenoid valve. It might be VERY hard to do anything without cutting the harness, I doubt you could find a plug and play solution or a way to make a pigtail.

These solenoids are pretty cheap new, I don't know if swapping to another solenoid will give you anything in the long run. Might be worth getting new replacements for any that are problems.

I swapped mine this monday against new one I ordered in UK (I can't get them in germany) and they leaked just after 2 Days. Can't hold 150 kPa absolute and are leaking Vacuum.. So I'll go for good old Pierburg Valves(OE Porsche 996 605 155 00)
