Wiring Question

[GEE-OTTO]

Last weekend i got a P0458 CEL and given the car has 195K miles on it, I went and bought a new Evap Purge Solenoid ($34 from local Subaru Dealer). Its pretty easy to replace as it is right on top up front of the IM. Well the real problem is a rodent chewed the wires, ALL the wires in that area (Boost Control and Evap Purge) so I need to cut out the chewed sections and replace.

 

Now to preface this, I haven't driven my car in the 3 weeks leading up to figuring this out, so ill prob use this to replace the brittle rubber hoses which are going to crack when i try to remove the affect solenoids.

 

My question is, what is the best splice method for the new wires? leaning toward twist and sweat sleeve but I am also able to solder.

 

Thanks

Solder and heat shrink is the best solution. Iwire offers replacement plugs w/ pigtails and butt connectors to make the job easy if you'd rather replace.
