Connector stuck
Trying to get a plug on the throttle body out but it is stuck. Anyone have any success with loosing these up. I know you turn the connector about 10 degrees and they spin off. Don't want to break it

Penetrating spray that is safe for plastics and maybe gentle heat from something like a hair drier. These plastic connectors get brittle with age and are even more crumbly when cold. Warm up the plastic to lessen the chances of snapping something off while turning. Good luck

Will do. Perhaps some silicone spray and a hair dryer. That sounds like the ticket.

They are available as single item from the dealer, if you break it, but you have to make a pinout tol to get the pics out from the socket. How to make one
