Alia, It sounds like he was trying to pull the complete harness from below as I did and is described in the FSM, but when he couldn't get the big connector loose down near the drivers footwell he gave up and started working from the other end and began unhooking the ECU side of the harness.
...Right smug?
Exactly. I will give a try on the connecor like you and alia suggested but I think I am about ready to switch over and try going from the ECU end fairly quickly since it really seems like it may be easier and less frustrating. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again for the help!
