Just pull it apart and hit the guyts with brake cleaner? I am having weirdness at cold start, and I think my AAC my be part of the problem.

Cool. Thanks. Anything else I should hit with it as well while I'm at it?

I think the AAV is the cause of most of our cold start problems. I know mine is toast. It was stuck open though. It would start great when it was cold, but it wouldn't ever close, so it always idled real high. I took it out to get the idle down, and now it's hard to start cold. I'm still trying to find an alternate replacement. The one from the Pulsar won't work....
