A few days ago I took off my throttle body and cleaned all the black crap out of the back of it.

So for some reason today I decided to take off my whole upper intake manifold and clean it too. Unfortunately, the passages are too thin and curvy to really get in there...so I just rinsed it out with carb cleaner and put it back on.

I'm still happy that I got the manifold off and back on with no problems.

you might be "maxima obsessed" when........

Man, I got really scared when I read this title...
