I thought it was a good write up. Most of the tools that flame every post talk a lot of smack, but end up fvking up stuff more than fixing it.

Also now that our cars are getting older (and cheaper) a lot of kids are rolling in them as their first rides. Last I checked car mechanics wasn't an inherent trait .

Also I don't believe this procedure is in the FSM, I didn't look...but I don't think I have seen it mentioned.

i used brake cleaner to clean my mafs. do you have to shrink wrap the wires going to the mafs? if they're not shrink wrapped, and just has electrical tape around them, will it cause an unstable idle and bad throttle response?

Are you serious? That stuff eats away at aluminum, plastic and blacktop. Not your best move right there...

brake clean eats away aluminum?

Do you know how many cans of brake clean I went through when I was rebuilding my SR? Yes, it does eat away plastic, latex, powder coat, paint etc etc but Ive yet to see it destroy any form of metal.

I seriously doused my oil pan in that chit...
