I'm replacing the headgasket in my newly aquired ford focus. It has the 2 litre single cam motor. I am removing the head with intake and exhaust manifolds attached. I have run into two problems.

First, I cannot disconnect one of the two cables from the throttle body, is there a retaining clip in there or something?

Second, there is a small black tube going from my intake manifold just below my throttle body on the drivers side up to the firewall area and I cant figure out how to remove it from the manifold.

A third problem I am having is that I had a picture of this small black tube but I am not sure how to put it in this post.

Any help is appreciated,
Cameron
