Thinking about spraying some cleaner in the throttle body the next time I have the air filter off to see if that will clean things up a bit without having to take the throttle body off, just a quickie, taking the air cleaner hose off and exposing the TB opening. Of course, then the MAF would no longer be functional.
Would the engine run with the air cleaner hose / MAF off - in case I decide to do this also with engine running to suck the cleaner in there as far as it'll go?
(Or is this a stupid idea? Yes, I'll admit I still think like a carb guy...)
Yes, I'm also aware that it's better to remove the TB, but this would be a quick attempt at cleaup without any real additional work besides taking the air filter off.
I may do the SeaFoam PCV bit later too.
(any new developments on the MAF cleaning PM?)
TIA
