IMRC cleaning

[mistermaclincoln]

Are there any step by step procedures on how to do this right from A to Z.

Nevermind just looked at your other post and it looks like you have a 95 Mark VIII. I don't know much about the Gen I's except that they are vaccum powered.

If the car is giving a code for the IMRC, then most of the time you will start with seafoam treatment or look for any loose vaccum pipes.

You can do a search for seafoam, and do that. Or, you can remove the intake manifold/imrc plates and clean them by hand. That's what I did with mine. I also replaced the upper and lower gaskets and installed new orings on the irmc plate shafts, since they were leaking vacuum.

Yes, I have a 95 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC. So all I have to do is disconnect the brake power booster vaccum tube and how much seafoam can I use. I thought all Mark VIII use the IMRC.

Which is a phenomenal amount of work.
Those IMRCs aren't made to be taken apart.

It's the only way to do it right.

Are you retarded??

Why would you replace the engine to fix a simple problem?

Sarcasm... when irony just won't quite do the trick.

Sarcasm doesn't convey well in text.... also, coming from Abe I wouldn't doubt if he meant it
