I found the pix. Let me include the telling one here:

Yes, you've been the victim of a dangerous hack to avoid the cost of a replacement ECU. The danger is in having the fuel pumps run at all times when the key is on, meaning they could pump fuel out of the tank after a crash.

Whoever did this should have their soldering iron taken away from them, both for the danger they put your family in, and for the poor joint. Anyway, now that you have the replacement ECU, all should be well and reliable if you just splice the remaining wires as they were before being modified: blue/green to blue/green and yellow/black to yellow/black.

Yes, the splicing is tricky with so little to work with, so I can see why you asked about another connector. I would use UN-insulated crimp splices with an indent-U crimper, covered with a short piece of shrink tubing. Using the insulated splices is possible but because you can't see what you're doing, it depends on more experience to get a good crimp. A good crimp is vital here, because it is reliability you're restoring. Don't scrimp on a crimp.

The socket terminals can be released from the socket housing by depressing the tabs, if you feel more comfortable having the extra working room.
