Hi,

I have resently poured too much oil on the to engine (during oil change) The result is that the flame trap has been blocked and that oil has been forced into the "AMM to Throttel body"-hose ... I could practically soak a cloth with oil.

Fortunately the seals of the engine seem not to have been damages, most likely as I realised the error quite quickly - ran less than 200 miles

I have cleaned the flame trap and assosiated hoses. Moreover I have cleaned the "AMM to Throttel body"-hose and the IAC. It seams that I should clean the Throttle body as I can see deposits on its surfaces.

Should I clean the injection manifold also ??

I have poured injector cleaner into the petrol twice with good effect. This has removed the acceleration hesitation.

Can the AMM have been damaged (I see oil deposits on the lower third of the downstream filter of the AMM), If so can I repair/clean it?

Thank you in advance

You can clean it with brake cleaner if there's liquid in there.

It's not unusual, even on fairly healthy engines, to see a lot of oil in the intake. Most people never clean it out.

The important thing is, you fixed the problem and cleaned the flame trap and throttle body. The rest will take care of itself.

Hello,

One more thing to check, it greatly reduced the amount of oil in the flame trap hose on my 86. Take the small flame trap hose that goes to the intake manifold loose from the manifold. Use a straight paperclip or a good stiff wire and really clean that little hole center of the vacuum connector. Mine had a slight vacuum before cleaning and a really good one after cleaning (use your thumb to measure). Just for good measure you can hit it with a good shot of throttle body cleaner and a good blast of canned air. Protective eyewear when doing this is a must.

Good Luck,

PT
