hey guys i'm in the process of taking my intake off to clean my imrc's (i wont be deleting them) and im wondering how should i go about cleaning under my intake hat and the lower intake manifold?

Carb cleaner. I would suggest deleting them.

Thanks and yeah I know but I'm trying not to spend money on my car for awhile

you will spend no money when you take them apart you will see the screws on the butterflies take the screws out and the butterflies come out piece of cake the rod stays attached.

berrymans b-12, its like brake cleaner except it kicks butt on all that carbon about 3 times as fast, you can spray it off and not even have to scrub in most places it works that well. I cleaned my imrcs and secondary intake valves with this

This man knows what he's talking about. Plus it's cheaper than the alternative too! Used it on my valves with a toothbrush and was done in a matter of minutes... cleaning anyway.

Although I am probably 5000 miles into my IMRC deletes with no CEL on my '96 (still a mystery as to why it's not spitting a code), most people who delete the IMRCs require a tune to get rid of the CEL or need to execute the spring method to trick the PCM. Remember, you can't pass smog with a CEL in most states... if that's a factor for you.

Yeah Im not doing them yet because I'm afraid I'll have to get a dyne tune and it's not worth it with my bolt ons IMO
