So over the past week my car had gone into limp mode twice, no accelerator reaction at all. All I had to do was turn the car off, wait a minute, then turn it back on and it would operate like normal. So once I got it home I took apart the dash and and connected the self diagnostic tool since I lucked out with that having an 05 LGT. The car was throwing a p0171, p2004, and a p2138. Now, from my research through the forum I’ve found that the p0171 is usually the MAF and that it can also cause a red herring p2138 which in turn cuts the power to the throttle body the second it’s thrown. So I went ahead and replaced my MAF to see if it would fix the issues but also wanted to look at the sensor connections on the TPS and the PPS. When I disconnected the tps connector parts of the plastic just fell apart in my hand so I went and cut off another connector off a junk harness. I could just solder the wires together but I don’t have any experience doing that and I’d rather avoid it. Just want to use the plastic housing from this other connector and re pin my wires into it. Just at a loss with how to de pin this particular connector. I don’t want to be too forceful with it as to damage it. So if anyone knows how to de pin these connectors I’d really appreciate some guidance.
