Title: Carb cleaner
Post by: NiallyV6CDX on 16 June 2009, 19:29:30

Hi, this is going to make me look a bit dim, but what exactly IS carb cleaner and where can I buy it? I want to clean out my EGR and IAC valves and have been told to use carb cleaner but not quite sure what that is :o
Are we talking carburettors here or something?
