CMP and throttle body harnesses
Would anyone be so kind as to educate me on how to release the CMP harnesses, on the underside of the throttle body?
I can't find any releasing mechanisms/clips and i don't want to break them. It's not helped by the fact that access is restricted, so i can't get a good grip on them to wiggle them around.
Also one of the throttle body connectors won't come off, and it's releasing clip appears to be stuck in the down position (which should release it) but it's stuck fast despite some careful prising with a screwdriver.
I've sprayed it with maintenance spray and will try again tomorrow.

OK then, i'll answer my own question.
Slide the red tab backwards and the release tab is under it.
And one of your throttle body connector stays is broken.
Simples
So another stupid question for you in an effort to avoid damage, is:
How do i disconnect the fuel injector electrical connectors?
Simple for someone familiar with these things, but unfortunately i'm not (familiar with them, simple is a whole other issue).
I just want to remove the electrical connectors so i can remove the intake manifold.
I've propped the plastic wiring rail out of the way with my remote.
This is what i'm looking at, if it appears:

Thank you kindly WhiteXKR.
I'm trying to avoid trashing any wiring so as to avoid any malfunctions, or weird and wonderful fault codes, when i put it back together.
I'm more frightened of the wiring than the mechanicals.
