Hereof, can I spray carb cleaner into the air intake?On a 4-stroke engine, adding a small amount of fuel additive to the gas tank, such as Techron concentrate, would probably be the easiest strategy. Spraying carb cleaner into the air intake bypasses the internal fuel passageways. Spraying carb cleaner into the carb bowl vent (to atmosphere) should be more effective.One may also ask, what is the difference between throttle body cleaner and mass air flow cleaner? Yes, you can use a MAF cleaner on a throttle body, but you cannot use throttle body cleaner on a MAF. If you use the wrong kind of cleaner on the MAF sensor and it leaves a residue, it can burn a little wire if it’s a hot-wire MAF sensor. But on the throttle body, it cleans it perfectly good. In this manner, does cleaning your throttle body make a difference? In summary, you can clean the throttle body all you like, but the fact is, if your engine is worn, your intake and throttle body will continue to get dirty. Cleaning your throttle body likely won’t do anything to solve an idle problem. It might make you feel better, but it might do little to solve an idle problem.What causes oil in the intake manifold?It’s most likely oil that’s been pushed up by the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) hose. (Your motor doesn’t have a PCV valve, just the hose with a filter on it. It might also come from some combination of too much oil, extended high RPMs or aggressive cornering pushing oil into the intake.
