  • Disconnecting coolant temperature sensor

    Wanted to test this to see if it helped with my rough idle but can't budge it where it connects? What can I use to pop this off?

    I just had to unplug one the other day to take the fuel rail off and it isn't easy to get your hand back there. I ended up using a long flat head screwdriver to press on the release tab and kinda push it up at the same time. It may help to spray the whole thing with some kind of lubricant to help it slide off just be careful not to pull on the wires too hard.
