Electrical connectors

I'm in the process of removing an engine from my 24 valve 98.5 and those of you who have done this will know that there are a large number of electrical connections that have to be undone. I am having a problem working out how some of these come apart, especially those that have to be done by "feel". Can anyone point me to a source that shows diagrams of the various plugs/connectors and how to disconnect them?

Once you realize that the connectors are designed to be put together, not taken apart then you'll understand there is no easy way to pull them apart.
Sorry, can't help with directions though.

alot have a red or some other color lock that you slide or remove and then push a tab to remove. ive found it usefull to use a little inspection mirror to at least try to see what the connector looks like. and sometimes it helps to spray something like wd-40 in the connector shell to help it come apart.

I prefer silicone spray. It stays around versus WD-40
