Hey fellow members. Well, first off I've been noticing my engine has been ideling a little rough about 500 miles ago only when I'm at a stop light or just in park. Well, yesterday, I was going to check the oil and noticed my K&N air filter was totally off from the K&N CAI tube. I was like, oh crap. So, I tried putting it back on, but it wouldn't fit. The filter ring shrunk, so I ended up taking out the adapter, so I can work on it better.

So, I'm wondering,I know stuff has been sucked up, so is there anything that I could buy that would help clean it out with? Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks for the help

Matt

 

I would change your oil for one

 

I wouldn't worry, the K&N is passing a lot of dirt & oil when it's attached.

 

Change your oil and seafoam the motor (that would be my suggestion)

 

Good thing I have some seafoam left. One things for sure, I'm glad my Amsoil needs to be changed soon anyways, cause it would suck if it was pretty new.

Thanks for the reply fellow members.

 

Yeah, good thing its ready to be changed...

 

Pick up some MAF sensor cleaner.That has got to be dirty by now.

 

well, I got some maf cleaner spray over at Napa and got Mobile 1 full scynthetic 5w-30 oil with a fram filter. First time I will be running the Mobile stuff cause Amsoil is a little $$$ right now.

 

Outstanding move on the Mobil 1!!! Matter oif fact, it would have been an outstanding move with any other oil!! I would, however, exchange that Fram oil filter for a Motorcraft, or Purolator.

 

my 1990 has been running K&N air filter and fram oil filter since day one....guess im screwed. Still going strong for 160K though.

 

y are u changing your oil its the intake theres not oil in there

 

Put the air from the intake runs into the engine, where there is oil. Contaminates can get into the oil that way.

 

No kidding. I would also attempt to clean, or just replace, the IAC

 

well, its runnig all good now. I cleaned the MAF and now when I start the truck, it idels at 1,100 rpm instead of 900 rpm, weird. First time I have ever sprayed cleaner on it.
