Oh, yeah, those connectors on the crank trigger, hall sensor and knock sensors are awfully fragile and fall apart if you look at them the wrong way. I haven't had the same problem with the FI or temp sensor plugs.

You need the clip unless you want to tie-wrap it on somehow. I bought some replacement AMP connectors on eBay for $2 each just to get the clip that came with them.

In this case the clip has a small "hand" on the end of each arm that prevents them from coming off and requires no plastic dab to retain them. So simple and so effective. Here's an illustration:

That's great value for the connectors!

Thanks everyone for all the accumulated wisdom and tips. Whenever I look back on these threads after doing a job I think how simple it seems in retrospect, and how clueless of me to have to ask. At the time though it's a great confidence-booster to have a few tips up my sleeve before the job and knowing some of you have been there done that!
