What Sensor is this?

Trying to bolt up Vortech Head Unit to passenger side head. Unbolted this steel bracket with sensor attached. I want to remove steel bracket from the sensor? Looks like there are two white retaining clips located at the 12 & 6 position of the sensor? Do I lift up on these clips and thus allow the sensor to release from the vacuum tubing?

That is the vapor canister purge valve.

You squeeze the two white clips in then pull the tube out.

Slides off sideways. You might need to tweak the retainer thingy on the bracket. Here's a (bad) picture of the purge valve slid towards the radiator & off the bracket.

Thanks for the details.

While on the topic of this vapor canister purge valve, the bolt that holds the bracket into the side of the head.

What is the thread pitch of that bolt? Maybe M10 x?
