Installation Procedure

IMPORTANT: If a new KS pigtail connector retaining clip is going to be used, the old one must be removed from the intake manifold. Use a push pin removal tool to remove the clip from the intake manifold.

Insert the KS pigtail connector with the retaining clip into the intake manifold hole or slide the KS pigtail connector over the retaining clip from the top.
