Fuel injectors
One more question. I am use to GM elect. connector end clips busting after being under the hood for a while.
I presume there are electrical connectors to 16 inlectors. Are these prone to breakage when removing? |

Re: Fuel injectors
not usually .there is a wire that you press in till it clicks and just wiggle them out . the easiest way for me was to go around and pressin all 16 wires and then start from the front and wiggle one side off and then do the same for the other side .hope this helps

Re: Fuel injectors
They are held in with sort of a metal wire clip. You press it. It can be a pain to get it to release, but it's much less likely to break than the typical plastic connectors you are talking about. The main worry is that the rubber seal inside might fall out. Just keep track of those and you should be good to go.
That said, the connections to the ignition module are like that, and it's a bit of a pain to disconnect them since you are holding the plenum up and trying to do it at the same time.
