Hey I'm just in the process if checking and cleaning the IAC on my 99. My question is, does anyone have a trick to get the electrical plug off of it? Like it's just pulling the plastic clip off but I'm afraid it's gonna break. Any pointers appreciated.

if you can get to the screws with out removeing the plug leave it hooked up and clean it

There has to be some kind of clip / retainer that you have to press to release the connector.

Yeah I was thinking about leaving it in while I cleaned it, last resort though. The clip on it looks to big to slide through... And just doesn't look right to me.

Using a flat head worked for me

Thanks guys! Popped right out with a flat head. Really felt like it was about to snap though.

Omg, I think this is the first time one of my suggestions actually went well for someone, I'm so happy

Gee oh Dee
