Buy BAD DESIGN EVI from BOSCH

BUY EV1 connectors see below HP3860 is a copy of the original OEM connectors (minimum and cheap). available on many vehicles. They keep breaking, WHY? You can't even pull the connector or you'll break it, and in a crowded, dark, restricted-access engine bay you can't tell that you need some sort of small pick to dislodge the metal spring clip (not easy to remove) from the connector . . Another cheap OEM style connector that will have you breaking something and muttering words the next time you need to remove it. BETTER__ Aftermarket has the same basic style and fits the same sensors or injectors in your car but has an intuitive compression spring, just take the connector, compress the spring (very easy) and voile, the connector will disengage and nothing will break . DO NOT BUY THIS. Get BOSCH EV! connector or any EV1 connector and you will see a protruding easily removable spring clip in the photos. (Original OEM style, you can't even see the clip) Much better design for your car's maintenance, less swearing and no need for BFH in the future, and you won't break EV1, but you will probably use the OEM Style (e.g. HP3860 ) connector. You have been advised. Not sure why they even sell this outdated OEM design dinosaur, again its El Cheapo design, not well thought out, not easy to maintain. You will love the EV1 connector.

Pros
