Attempting to install the ESS tune. What's the trick to disconnecting the various sensors? Can't s seem to get them to release. Thx

Some connectors are in a bit tight, a pick might help in a pinch.

More specifically, what's the method in which they're engineered to release, e.g. push the tab and pull?

Anyone?

Got it. Jesus, the boost pressure and camshaft sensors were tough. Love the tune though.

Yeh map/tmap i use the long circle plyers. MAF sensors are easy push button with thumb. Cam sensor long skinny flathead.

I didnt like how the ESS harness was. I dont understand why its made to run by the brake booster where there is no space instead of the passenger side where there is like a huge empty space. Also I couldnt figure out a clean way to run the cam connector back. Should definitely include a suggested wiring guide.

Agreed. Will have to pull it off in 3 months for service. Going to try to figure out a proper routing schematic then. In the meantime, it'll suffice.
