What are the steps involved when removing the UIM? Been watching videos (from russia I think) on how to do it but I can't seem to get it right.

I know that there are a number of bolts which are hard to get to.

By the way did you have to manually clear the code?

Apologies for just responding...
Yeah, those videos help a lot. If you need it, I'll try to dig it up in the shop manual.
I did not have to reset any codes, but I had to do a reflash due to a dead battery later in the spring.

If that doesn't work, swap the connector and vacuum hose with the AIR solenoid above it so the SSV is using a different solenoid.
The AIR solenoid can be sacrificed for troubleshooting purposes.
how does the blue connector unclip. I managed to get to it via reach around but how does it come out?

edit: it's a normal style unclipping mechanism. It's on the passenger side of the plug.
