Message	everyone here swears by it, but i really don't like it. i thoroughly cleaned all my connectors with a brass brush to get the corrosion off and make the metal connectors super shiny. i then applied di-electric grease to the pins, reconnected. after 2 weeks of driving, i inspected the connection and i found the grease to have actually attracted some dirt and somewhat 'hardened' with some corrosion. this was especially prevalent on the coolent temp sensor. i'm not an expert on this, but i'm not sure if the grease is made to withstand the extreme temperature of the engine bay. upon some searching, some of the guys like buzz had good experiences with wd40. i much prefer the light spray of wd40 over that guey grease. these are the connectors i've cleaned, in the order of most corrosion: 1. injector connectors 2. coolant temp sensor 3. ptu harness connectors 4. TPS, MAF this made an INCREDIBLE difference on the way my car performs. so my vote is to go WD40 =) mike zxredline@yahoo.com
