Today I have mostly been...............
Moderator: martauto
Cleaning out my air intake, throttle body and idle control valve.
Cant believe how much smoother and responsive the car is!
I recommend spending £4.50 on carb cleaner and spending an hour doing cleaning the intake parts.
Also polished the car, and clibrated my obc! Happy days..........
