How to clean intake manifold

Hey guys.

I'm looking to clean all the runners on my new explorer intake. I'm trying throttle body cleaner and engine degreaser but its taking quite a while. anything else that i should try to get all that sticky carbon build up out of the manifold? the top is gonna be a pain in the butt too!

thats all that i would say is spray and scrub with carb and choke cleaner or once you have it on the car run some seafoam thru it.

if you have a buddy/local shop that has a parts bath... maybe use that? otherwise good old fashioned elbow greese.

Go buy a couple gallons of Mean Green and plastic a tub and let it soak for a couple hours and then scrub away
