isv cleaning . Crack pipe as well?

[robrado974 1]

Ok so me vr now starts .I still have the problem of the lumpy start though on occasions . The isv is soaking overnight in carb cleaner . The crack pipe looks a bit messy in and around the mesh grill , is it safe to use carb cleaner and flush it or just soapy water or something ? Thanks Rob

....I always thought the "crack pipe" was part of the coolant system :s

Yes the crack pipe is the name given to the pipe that goes from the water pump to the sensors. I think he was talking about the isv silencer.

The silencer I just blow it with compressed air. But if you want you can open it and take the mesh out to clean
