My AAC is off right now as I was planning to clean it until one question came to mind. What do I use to clean it?I did a search and found a few threads about results from cleaning the AAC, but none stated exactly what was used. I'm assuming maybe throttle body cleaner or brake cleaner may work (i'd use the tb cleaner), but I don't like to assume.
