Today I took my intake manifold apart and cleaned it up. I'm gonna replace the gaskets and maybe the IACV as well.
Broke it down, intake runners, intake collector, IACV(idle air control valve) and the throttlebody.
The first thing I did was clean up the throttlebody...
It was pretty dirty.
Cleaned.
I'll replace the throttlebody gasket when I put the intake manifold back together.
The intake collector was full of carbon buildup.
I got some brushes and cleaned it out pretty good too. I'll replace the intake collector gasket as well.
The IACV.
I can't decide whether or not to clean this up or just replace it. I came across a write-up on how to clean one but I can't find it again.
Carbon build-up.
Got some new hoses to replace the ones on the intake manifold.
