Thoughts?

For example, I need to replace the throttle body connector; I’ve snapped off a retaining tab. The wires from the old connector are unpinned using the appropriate tool. The connectors have small barbs that prevent them from being pulled out. These barbs are pressed in so that the connector can be removed.
I’d recommend doing the same with your MAF connector; that way, you can check the cables and their connectors in detail.
