Took of my intake manifold to replace a housing that was leaking, thought i should replace and clean a few other things that normally arent accessible, or are easier to access when its not on...
these are the things i could think of:

cleaning out the ICV
replacing the intake seals (these are pretty expensive $15 each for rubber band like lastic and i needed 6 of them.... :confused:)
cleaning the throttle body
vacuming, and cleaning out the valves as some unwanted things found their way into there in the process of taking the manifold off
replacing the fuel delivery hose, this was as hard as a rock i dont think it had EVER been replaced.
finaly replacing the fuel filter, theres a bit more room available now so might aswell do this too.

ill probebly do a radiator flush aswell when everything is back together.


So my question to you... what else would you replace

guys is it a bad idea to clean the area around the valves, the ICV and the throttle body with degreaser?
rather ask first before doing it

I myself would use a carb cleaner. But you would be ok with the valves, but the others I would not
