How do you remove the 5 pin plug from the MAF sensor?
I know, sounds silly. I am installing a new Blackwing on my '03. The first step is to remove the 5 pin plug from the MAF sensor. I cannot figure out how to get that thing out. I am thinking of removing the hood, but don't want to do that if not necessary and possibly deal with hood alignment issues afterwords (and I don't have enough help to remove the good safely anyway).

You have to remove the small grey insert from the plug assembly before they will separate. Give that a try if you have not already.

Well, after getting tired of wrestling with the plug on the MAF and having a little difficulty getting the stock air box to come off the grommets, I looked and said...hummm, 4 bolts to get the hood off.
I didn't do it, but just thought it would make things a lot easier working that far forward in the middle of the engine compartment. When I was younger reaching and working like that was a lot easier! It was just a passing thought. Worked smarter and not harder when it came down to it. -Glenn

if it to hard to lean over, raise the car up on some jack stands and your leaning over will be easier, not necessary but, easier
