Here is the the elbow from the flow control valve to the inlet manifold before cleaning:

This is it cleaned:

Looks like mine did! How many miles without ORM/EHM did it take to do that?

Gotta love all those mandated BS emissions bestowed on us by a bunch of acid headed hippies changing the world, and saving us from our own self destruction.

Okay, now that I'm all limbered up, wouldn't it be great if we can learn to accept the things that nearly everyone (except CARB) agrees on and change the things we can (like cleaning the intake)? It's a drinking game converted to a 12-step program...

I need to look into them. I sent the ECU to GDE for an ECO Tune today after spending some hours trying to get the EGR out for cleaning. I only had two bolts and some hoses to go, but it occurred to me that even after cleaning it, the solenoid could crap out, and I don't want to go through this again.
I should have just sprung for the tune before I started removing the EGR, and saved the skinned knuckles. Hypocritical? Yes. The Anti-Acid-Head-Hippie Chorus is warming up, and will now commence to remind me of my moral turpitude.

The fact that this vehicle is best serviced by a double-jointed anorexic has me thinking about jumping ship for something with a larger engine bay, one in which I can walk between the engine and the fenders.

Yup, we never forget

But we do accept converts.

Reminds me of a drinking game we use to do while watching the Bob Newhart Show (prolly, before your time). Every time someone said Bob...

- Bob: drink

I don't know why I am finding this so funny:

Thanks Dan,

Omg, I started taking things apart the other day to do exactly that and holy doo doo, I've never had to work on something that i had to contort my hands and body position into just to get at some retarded bolt location.

I love this vehicle, fun to drive, etc. etc... but *&^^&* working on it. Shoot me...


LOL at the language filter.

I've been thinking about a Jeep WK CRD because of easier access to work on the engine.
This photo gives me second thoughts:
