Car broke down - ODB error codes 14 and 24

OK, at long last I get round to taking the engine cover off.

As we did a spark test, we noted a connector at the back came out really easy.

Hmmm...

Then we notice 3 clips are broken and silicone sealant is used to hold them together. The clip that came out really easy, the silicone was completely broken.

We then plugged the lose connector in and ran the car for 40mins in idle, it did not cut out (typical 10-15 mins then cut out before). So I think this is probably the cause of the problem. I need to do more testing, but it looks promising.

My guess is the clips broke during a spark plug change and my mechanic sealed them.

My questions :

- what is the part number for these clips?
- I see 3 with silicone sealant, are there any more clips than the 3?
