LIM and UIM

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

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

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

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.

Oh. Ok. I saw a post somewhere about cleaning them and was just wondering.

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