While changing my oil this weekend I decided to try the ISC-reset
experiment.  This is when you disconnect the ISC (Idle Speed Controller)
connector while the engine is idling to make sure you hear the "click" that
means all is well.  It also, for some people, has the side effect of
resetting or unsticking the ISC so that the RPM's won't drop mysteriously at
idle.  Well, I couldn't do it because I couldn't reach the $*&%! connector.
I could touch it with one finger but there was no way I was going to get a
finger and thumb on it in order to disconnect it, and I didn't want to try
too hard because then I might not be able to reconnect it!  So I have a
question for those of you who have actually performed this experiment:  How
did you get a grip on the connector?  Thanks.
