unless im missing something, i find the f.i. female connectors a pain in the ass to release(especially on injectors)...so i replaced with connectors from 90s Volvo which have easy disconnect and have the same interface.
It woul;d be nice to have the easy disconnect Bosch fuel connectors too...but that might be more work than its worth

Re: f.i. connectors
If you release the little metal pins or sockets at the ends of the wires in the plastic connector bodies, can you just snap them into the Volvo ones?dingo wrote:unless im missing something, i find the f.i. female connectors a pain in the ass to release(especially on injectors)...so i replaced with connectors from 90s Volvo which have easy disconnect and have the same interface.

I think there are are almost generic release springs that you can subsitute in place of the simple 3/4 rectangular ones that came with the bus. These have a nice v-shaped push-to-release shape. No more wild pulling and cracking brittle plastic.
