content: Well, try looking closely at it - a lot of connectors have a (small and faint) manufacturer logo or name. Makes it easier to narrow it down.

content: It looks like Molex MX150 series, however I would check the usual suspects (Delphi, Tyco, Molex and FCI). What car is it?

content: Forget finding it via typical electronics sources. The automotive industry has a whole separate ecostructure.Go to a Honda dealer or "junkyard" that specializes in Hondas.

content: Probably one of auto parts stores will be best bet to find it, if not why not simply cut it off and install similar connector in place for which you have mating jack? It is just two crimps inside right?.

On the service reference manuals for repair shops they have to have all of their parts listed.You might have more chances to get access to the on the European links from the manufacturer, I was able to find detailed reference manuals for my engine with all the parts and bits of a toyota celica engine. for $15 week access or so, long forgot the link since I downloaded every single pdf file during that day

content: Looks like plastic housing of connector is custom, made to mate with "another half", but inside I see standard "quick connect quick disconnect" or "faston" connectors for which it is easy to find second part like here on Digikey:http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/2-520193-2/A27806TR-ND/289253.I am pretty sure you can find plenty of connectors like this without housing around the car. They come insulated and non insulated, in standard withs 6.25mm, 4.5 mm etc.
