How to disconnect electrical plug from idle air motor?

Post by Larva »

I'm in the middle of removing my intake manifold from my 93 850NA to replace the PCV system and clean the EGR . I need to remove the electrical connection from the idle air motor and its stuck. Is it a simple push on pull off plug or is there a mechanical release that I am not seeing?

There is a mechanical release. Wire type push then pull plug off.

Push and hold the wire, the wiggle the connector.
