Slick Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Wondering if it is "safe" to clean the inside of my intake plentum while I have it off my 92 Pathy (VG30E motor)...and if so..what is the best stuff to use? Will it hurt anything spraying carb cleaner in it and holding it so the cleaner runs directly back out? or does anyone know what else can be safely used?? -bounce- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Carb cleaner will do fine. Blast away. You can use whatever you want to clean the intake(short of acid, heh). If you can, get yourself a 5-gallon bucket, fill it up with hot water and a gallon of Purple Power degreaser cleaner, then dunk that sucker in there for a while. Spray it off and it should be nice and shiny inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeMan Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Just a hint, remove it before you do what 88 suggested. When I have done mine, I just pulled off the rubber hose right at the throttle body, so I could see what I was doin, and have a more effective spray by getting it where I wanted to. Or...... you could remove it....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 opps hehe, probly shouldn't drink and troll..... -alcohol- :type: Heee heee, careful, or you'll start looking like me. Purple Power rocks at removing just about any grease and oil. Got some soaking an oil stain outside at this very moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 :bow: Thanks guys!

Thanks again! :cool2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 How'd you get an ignition coil on your intake? o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 I am having a momentary brain fart...but it is the thingy that holds the coil plug from the distributor cap....starter coil.....mm...that's what I call it! LOL I'd post a pic..but it won't let me post a pic from my personal files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
