I'm in central NJ, just north of Princeton. I wouldn't want to trouble anybody, but if someone just happens to be in the area, it would be much appreciated. I might be able to rustle one up in town though.
Thanks again all.

Hello,
I'm removing the passenger side valve cover. Two of the valve cover bolts have black plastic hose brackets on them. I don't know how to remove them. How do I take the brackets off so I can remove the bolts?
Thank You

So I got at the other side. It was much worse, hanging out probably about 1/4". wedged another $.25 in there and buttoned it all up. Ran well on my test drive.
I think we nailed it guys.
Thanks a ton!

So what exactly did Ford do? I thought they would have fixed the harness connector so it would not pull apart.. I guess it boils down to... if you want something done right, do it yourself ! Glad you got her fixed... !!
