hey,

it's that time of year again when things are starting to get warmer around here so i figured it's time to do a little spring cleaning with my car.

i've already removed just about every piece of the exterior and cleaned everything you can imagine, every little nook and cranny. same for the interior.

now it's time to move on to the engine bay.

my question is, what parts of my engine should be semi-easily removed and cleaned? and what would you recommend cleaning it with?

i'm mostly just wanting to clear any clogged filters, anything that would bog down performance and could possibly be costing me gas mileage, etc.

nothing any more complicated than removing the throttle body.

that leads to my second question also: can after-market air intake filters be cleaned? instead of replaced? those bitches are expensive

thanks guys!

 

yea they can be cleaned, just wash then out and reoil them, depending on how dirty your engine is you can use one of those 89 cent cans of degreaser from walmart. they work pretty good and new spark plugs couldent hurt
