can you ppush the flap down & spray?

He's using BG
heard thats very good

Id be careful using it around a painted aircleaner as it eats the paint

I bought some intake carb etx spray cleaner fromthe 99 cents store
just to clean external gunk..wonder if it could hurt to get that sludge soot into the engine

Will have to look inside the flaps next time I have the air cleaner off.
There is one big vac hose next to the fuel dis
It looks ok...
I am tryng to be extra careful
I got daring changing vac hoses & broke the tvv vent in the hose.

Beware of the tvv...esp in old cars
its plastic & gets very brittle

Hoping the rest are on metal vents...

The bottom of the aircleaner around the port & tubing had some black soot which I wiped away so I guess I'd expect to see that inside
but does it really hurt anything?

I don;t have the standard icv
Mine is a bosch air valve
it has no electrical connections....
Hi,

The carb cleaner is supposed to be combustible and it wouldn't hurt to have the gunk combusted and pushed out by the exhaust stroke.

The sensor plate can be pushed down but be careful not to exert excessive force when it doesn't go any further. Its metered and measured to some extent. So we should open it open enough to allow a view within to spray.

Make sure if you use anything to wipe, kleenex for example, DO NOT drop any small pieces inside if they get caught by the sensor plate.

It was mentioned that a clean engine gets additional care from the mechanic cause he knows you are merticulous in details.

Thanks
I'd like to do this
Seems easy enough

Would you have to run the engine immediately after cleaning
or would waiting a day or 2 be ok?

I try not to force anything but
Thanks for the warning about the plate

Have no idea where the throttle plate gap or bore is?
Is that the inside wall?

maybe I'll forgo the tooth brush clean but
like to do it right.

Never would use paper anything to wipe anything inside an engine
thats a disaster waiting to unfold...

Have to be careful with rags too
sometimes the edges fray.

Will this improve performace or roadability?
Seems a little soot coating shouldn;t hurt too much
unless under the flap gets really thick causing a heaviness & drag.

Thanks for the info...

mine looks pretty clean outside?
