need help in unpluging the mass air sensor electrical conection. What's the secret?

 

it's sometimes hard to pull

srsly lift tab and pull the connector off. wiggle it, spray silicone in there, whatever

you need to be smarter than the plug

 

Lift what Tab?

 

srsly, I see no tab.

 

I would imaging that it looks something like this...you can see the tab on top....granted I haven't actually looked at mine, this was just pulled form google

 

tab is directly where the mass air flow sensor arrow is pointing



here you see the nubbin on the sensor the tab hooks to

 

if there is no tab it's been broken off and maybe glued on
or otherwise, they are sometimes hard to pull off even if tab is lifted
and it doesn't matter if these are tacoma pictures or not, 99% of toyota
mafs are identical

 

Thanks for the photos and comments, however none resembled the mass air sensor electrical connection on my 2016 Tacoma 3.5 Off road 4X4. Frustrated, I finally just removed the entire sensor from the stock airway, skipping K&N's poor instruction photos, and reconnected into the K&N airway as my last step of installation. Engine sounds great and is more responsive.

 

Lol, placebo effect.
