Air filter

Standard air filter cleaning procedure:
1. Remove the air filter from the car and plug opening to throttle body with a clean rag to stop any crud
getting where it shouldn't.
2. Disassemble filter assembly by removing the four small screws at the bottom (intake side) of the
outer-body and pull out the filter element.
3. Tap the filter gently to dislodge the larger debris that have collected, do not use compressed air as
you could damage the paper elements.
4. Apply detergent to the filter. Squirt the fluid down the elements from the outside while holding the
filter at an angle over a bucket. Don't re-distribute the detergent that's collected in the bucket
through the filter again.
