Cleaning Intake Valves
My car is a ’92 201 w/2.3 ltr. with 185K miles.
I was experiencing an extremely high idle, so I have the whole intake off searching for vacuum leaks, and for a good cleaning. I actually found my air duct housing (the rubber bottom of the air flow sensor) had a major tear in it – I’m waiting for the part to arrive tomorrow. In any event, I’ve completely cleaned the air flow sensor, the throttle body, and the intake manifold. It was a disgraceful mess of carbon/fuel/crud. Everything is spotless now, but I can see that the intake valves are all “crudded” up. Does anybody have a slick way to clean them without removing the head? Thanks in advance for your insight.
