# Has anyone ever rigged up some sort of beind-the-MAF intake "thingy" to to spray in a can of intake cleaner with engine running?

i'm thinking about trying to make some sort of widget to do that, such as a length of pvc with rubber hose length on one end to clamp to the TB and the actual intake hose on the other... small hole to insert plastic spray straw from the can of cleaner. rev the engine while someone sprays, you get the idea. think this would work? is there some way of really getting the spray into the intake plenum/collector/manifold/whatever the right term? basically i'm thinking that yeah, i got a lot of gunk out of the TB and that little bit of the area behind it, but i'm sure there is plenty more gunk in the intake itself, beyond the reach of my rag. so how do you clean it?

- there's got to be a vacum port in the manifold u can disconnect and shoot it in there..nm DanNY (91SE) 22:02:39 6/23/2002 (2)
  - yeah, but if you pop a vacuum line off --> Matt K (89 SE 5spd) 22:05:19 6/23/2002 (1)
