Is my flame trap missing?[850/95] posted by Ray Niblett on

I pulled the throttle intake hose(s) off to clean the throttle body
on our 95 855 GLT (non-turbo). I also removed the plastic elbow that
is on the firewall side of the intake. I did this to clean the
flame trap and expected to find a part inside the "elbow" that can
be removed and cleaned. However, there was nothing inside this
elbow. Should there have been something in there that can be removed,
cleaned and replaced?

I understand sometimes mechanics remove the flame trap since it
can cause problems if it is clogged and the throttle body has
been service once by the delear.

Thanks in advance. --
