Plenum Cover Removal?
Just removing my fuel rail covers and plenum cover to replace them with RPI upgrades. Can't get the wiring harness to come off - how exactly do you do that? I know, dumb question, I'm sure... Thanks for any help!

Maybe I am missing something. I replaced the fuel rail covers without removing a wire harness. I put the RPI plenum cover on top of the plenum. Again, no wire harness removal.

If you really need to remove the plenum cover, the electrical connectors have a little blue slide lock. Pull the slide lock out (towards whichever side it is on) and then press the thumb button on the connector.

ok so you didn't need the wiring harness to come off, in which case pull harder is the appropriate answer.
the question you meant to ask was, how do I unplug the wiring harness?
you see, the plenum cover removal, requires the wiring harness to be removed from it's clipped in position. but your actual problem was removing the driver side fuel rail cover.
next time, before you deem a response unhelpful, make sure you have asked the right question.

Actually, I already had the fuel rail covers off, so I would say we were both sort of right. You were correct that I should have asked "how to unplug the wiring harness," and I was right that "pull harder" was likely not helpful in solving my problem. No worries from my end, just a misunderstanding of terminology, etc. Thanks for your input, and I hope that you will continue to help in the future.
