Pulling engine, need help on a connector

Does anybody have a picture of the connector that goes into the oil level sensor bolt? I'm trying to unhook it, but I don't want to break the clip. Or can somebody explain how it connects?

are you talking about the plug that goes into the sensor itself? if so there should be one side open where the conector tab is that you can use a pocket screwdriver to unclip the conector. sorry it is dificult to explain without a picture reference.

This is what I needed to know. Some clips you have to push down on and some you pull up on. I know it's probably a little brittle, so I don't want to yank too much on it and snap the retaining clip. I'll check out the IAT. Can anybody verify that it pulls up like the IAT?

The connector needs to be pulled up, use a screw driver to release it.
