Chevy 5.3L question

On our 2004 Chevy, I took the throttle body off to clean. Went to put it back on and the harness connector lock (small white part) was missing. I found that, then realized that the part the lock hooks to was also gone. Not sure if I broke it or if damage was previously done.

Have found replacement pigtails to wire in, but have a question before I order. In the photo below, does the connector come apart? Meaning, the can the pink part (yellow arrow) separate from the black connector (green arrow)?

The pink part is the terminal lock. Yes
it comes off to remove terminals. Do you
have any shops around you could see if
they have a cutoff connector? I save
stuff like that from used engines. That
connector is a lot to spend for a clip.
You DO NOT want to splice that connector.
The electronic throttle is very sensitive
to voltage drop. Spliced connections
wreck havoc with the TAC controller.
 
Thanks guys. I figured that connector assembly could be separated, and figured that was good injuneering so one could buy just the replacement end and not a whole new harness assembly. Silly me! Still have to get an entire harness - or pay an awful lot for the one part you DO need (a pigtail assembly).

Wife suggested I just twine it up, so looks like I'll be getting out the zip ties. Wouldn't even mess with that but we have 20+ miles of rough gravel roads to drive on.

I always get those type of parts from the local pick n pull auto salvage...they're a lifesaver for the OEM stuff. Very cheap too.
