Can you use a vacuum cleaner on the intake manifold?
Do NOT use a chemical dissolver or a vacuum cleaner to suck out the carbon while the intake manifold is still attached to the head. Hard pieces of carbon will fall into the engine and possibly damage the valves or turbo. The intake, EGR, and EGR cooler must be removed from the head for cleaning.
