Cleaned Engine Bay & throttle body

stealth23

This is how i cleaned it

items used:
-2X Gunk Degreaser
-2X Gunk Protector (i had to use 2 of each, as you can see how my engine was)
-1 roll of Scott Blue Shop Towels
-patience

-covered all the electrical components(alternator, intake, MAF sensor)
-sprayed (gunk degreaser) the whole engine bay including the Brake fluid area and battery area
-let it sit for like 5-10 minutes
-spray some more while using a small $1 paint brush to go over the whole engine bay
-rinse the whole area down
-let it dry itself for about 5 minutes(dont need to be completely dry)
-spray Gunk protector throughout the whole engine bay
-used Scott Shop Towel to wipe everything down(i prolly used about 40 sheets of the shop towels)
-the intake manifold has lots of small square pockets, it took a while to stick shop towel into each one of them to clean and get the water out
-took me about 2 hours to clean it

Hope this helps

Yes i used the water hose to rinse the whole engine bay down, if you cover the intake, intake maf sensor and alternator with a plastic bag, you have nothing to worry about.
Give the engine bay some time to dry and when you start the car youll notice some smoke coming out, but dont panic. Its just water evaporating. Good Luck!

Where is the Maf sensor and alternator? What does it look like? Stupid question for most people i know..

The alternator is down low on the front of the engine, its the one driven by the belt that has holes you can see wires through. The Maf's are directly on top of the intake tubes right behind the filters, theres nothing you need to remove to see and access them. Be gentle with them, just spray them off only with MAF cleaner and let dry. Youll break them if you try wiping the insides with a rag.

Alright thanks!
