I too use Simple Green ... amazing product ... don't have to worry about
it and bad effects on rubber. I remove the air cleaner, cover the throttle
body
with a plastic bag, cover the computer and its 3 connectors
with a plastic bag (more of a safety precaution), spray using the Simple
Green bottle with nozzle set at FOAM, allow to stand for 3-5 min., spray
with garden hose and spray set at wide spread. Any heavy duty oil can be
wiped off with an old rag. Use the air compressor and spray most of the
H2O off (especially around the distributor and spark plug wires), reattach
everything and run at idle until rest of water evaporates.
Does a really good job. Smells good as well!!! Hope this helps.
