fuel injector electrical connector clip/vacuum leak repair
What's the trick to getting the clip on the electrical connector on each individual fuel injector to release?
TIA.

with your finger at the bottom of the clip push up in the center and that will release both ends on the top and you can then pull it off

Thanks. After the first one, the other seven were easy. Not sure about pushing up. I just sort of squeezed the metal clip with my thumb and it released. The metal clip comes off with the electrical connector.
I finally got around to repairing the disconnected vacuum line that was left or pulled off when the GM dealer replaced the oil pressure sending unit.
Royal PITA to connect a tiny, way too short vacuum line. They must connect that vacuum line at the factory assembly line on the rolling chassis before they put the body on. I extended mine by about a foot.
Cold idle back to normal. Runs good, really pulls strong. Not so much exhaust popping on decel. AC vents now working properly again. No more hot on the driver's side and cold on the passengers. I had warm air coming out the drivers side even with the AC off. No more. The problem must have been vacuum related.
Now I'm waiting to see if my Air Pump faults come back. Someone posted a picture of the system removed and lying in a pile and it looked like there was a vacuum solenoid in the mix.
Thanks for the info.
