What are LIM's and UIM's and how do you clean them?

Re: LIM and UIM
that would be lower intake manifold and upper intake manifold and that would probably mean the gasket need to be replaced or the manifolds need cleaned but not likely unless porting and polishing

Re: LIM and UIM
The Upper Intake Manifold and Lower Intake Manifold are not things that normally require cleaning.
You should clean your MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor and throttle body though.

Re: LIM and UIM
Just don't try to port and polish them by pouring a big bag of sand in there!!
