[ryan101]

i was told by someone that i need to clean the coil pack boots and clean in between the 2 rocker covers, is there a diy on here?

the reason i was told to clean is because it is really dirty in there, i had my idle problem fixed but now its a rough idle due to dirty coils and he said i mas aswell calen the whole lot why im there!

WD-40 and a lint free cloth with do the trick. Let it dry and wacky them back in.

take coil packs out clean em like you would anything else but I wouldnt dunk them in water... wet rag will do it...

I dont know about WD40, does that stuff actually dry?, its an oil, and when it heats up in there wouldnt it like bake on somewhat?

Im just guessin...

to clean the valley, I used an alloy acid and a scrubbing brush/toothbrush, just use some old spark plugs to fill the holes whilst cleaning, then wash the acid stuff out, I wish I could remember the name, its pink stuff and burns after alittle while on your skin but damn it cleans alloy great... that way there is no oils or grease crap left there and it looks like new... just dont get it on paintwork obviously or anything else for that matter...

Ive done this a few times, I get a little over meticulous when I start to clean... it can take days sometimes...

WD40 is not oil based. It's a silicone spray that displaces water and moisture (what it was designed for). It can be used to clean inside the rubber boot and is safe to use on electrics. It beats a wet rag hands down.

i was told by the mechnic, remove the coil packs clean the boots with CO contact cleaner, and for the vally i was told use carby cleaner and tooth brush and the better job i do the better the idle will be!

he said to do it right should take a few hours

pull the boots off them, clean with warm soapy water, and spray with silicone spray.

done.

Try this as well while you at it

Worked for a while at least on mine but soon ditched the coils and bought splitfires

def use contact cleaner.

contact cleaner, Anything that is designed to clean electrical components. Then lubricate all the contact points with a little di-electric grease. Good to go!
