hey guys, this past weekend i replaced my starter, wow how awesome is it to start the car on your first try. but to get to the starter, i needed to remove the air accumulator, the big thing with the 24-6 on it. well when i removed it, the intake horns were really dirty. i think it comes from the k&n filter oil. I believe that if you put the filter in while it is still wet after the recharge, some og the oil gets sucked in. i guess the owner before me didnt look into this. well the trottle plates were black. i cleaned it with carb cleaner and what a difference. the car idles much smoother and seems to have a smoother and quicker acceleration. i do advise for everybody to take a look at this.

email if you have any questions
