So I am trying to replace my TPS right now and this is the dumbest problem I have ever had, I can't get the electronic plug in to come off. It will not unplug no matter how much force I use, any tips? I kinda need my car so I can leave me house lol

Did you slide the little red lock back ?

Nyhm

Yep sure did, still will can't get it off. I really have no idea what's wrong

Here's a pic of it being slid back. I have pulled and pulled to the point of my arms hurting

Ok, I am on hour 3 of trying to get this off and it will not budge, friend of mine said to use WD-40 to loosen it up but will the harm the plug in or anything?

Go to the nearest AAA and hand-in your man card!!!

If you've pulled back the locking piece, pushed the latching piece, wiggled, and it still won't come off.... You're not doing it right.....

Should be able to pull back the red clip, and then use your thumb to push down near the center where the red clip was covering. Wiggle back and forth. You can use WD-40 if needed, just try and wipe things off with a good natural cleaner when you're done.

Got it off finally but now I have a bigger problem. One the old screws broke off flush inside the throttle body X_X I am so furious right now

Some of this threads give me a huge grin on my face
Simple fix.
Heat it and then use lock pliers and unscrew it :P Sometimes you have to relax with you do things, frustration is just going to make things worse. :P
