So it's sunny and no snow (for a change) and I fired the ole girl up for a sprint through the country. Noticed unusual rough/low idle... Did a quick check of all the basics and WTF? :eyecrazy The harness connector to the air flow meter had backed off meter. Reason being, no darn spring/retainer in plug/connector... Howz that happen? Plug is perfectly intact???

I've scoured through all my misc parts and have come to the conclusion I need the little spring/clip/retainer in the harness plug or another connector. NE1 got one? I could splice in another plug if necessary.

Thanks in advance

Your talking about the little metal clip you push down to pull the connector off correct? If so I'm 99 percent sure I've got one, when I get home I'll check and if I do I'll just mail it to you no charge

Yes sir. That would be the item. Thanks
