I've used an eyeglass screwdriver from the backside and a paperclip will do in a pinch (perhaps even filed down a bit). I'm sure there's a professional tool too.

Kept meaning to talk to you about this yesterday...never got a chance to say much! Anybody know if there's a tool or trick to getting the pins outta that connector? I'd really like to replace it since it no longer 'clicks-in'.

The error is Intake temp. sensor circuit. Doesn't necessarily mean the sensor / MAF itself is bad. Could be a connector, wiring, or other part of the system.

If the MAF was bad, it would be quite obvious and the car would run like ick. If the EGR was stuck the car would still run ok. Personally, I'd verify the code again then start checking wires to the Camshaft sensor and fan switches first. Make sure those fans are coming on. Are you sure the code is just "10" or are there other numbers in front of it? The codes do run in numerical order from P0010 to P3000 (and beyond).

So I have a fun issue. 95 Miata, Check engine light is on - "code 10". Air temp sensor circuit. Car seems to run fine. I swapped out the MAF with the one from my 96 and cleared the code....came right back within seconds. Car had a JR M45 on it when I bought it and it looks like some of the MAF wiring may have been "disturbed" during the install (some non-OEM tape just behind the connector). The MAF connector is seated firmly but the little clip that secures it was broken off long before this issue. So first question is, how do I test the wiring (say between MAF connector and ECU), just continuity? Any resistances or voltages to check for at the connector? Should I maybe try to locate a new connector and splice it, or is it possible to get the pins out and re-insert in a good connector? Other thoughts from the peanut gallery? :-) -- "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." - Mario Andretti -- "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." - Mario Andretti ________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
