Anyway to clean intake?

Well, DUH.....yeah I could take it off and clean it. But how about on the car? Any ideas?

My daily driver runs okay, but when the TVIS opens it really kicks the power up. I just assume that the intake is really cruddy. And one day I will get around to taking it apart and cleaning it up.....but until then I'm looking for other options.

I guess you mean the throttle body? Oxygen Sensor Safe Carb Cleaner and a good round wire brush.

AMSOil Power Foam is good stuff. there is also a technician grade Wynn's throttle body cleaner...buy a respirator! it stinks, but it WORKS!
both are kinda effervescent, so scrubbing not really necessary.
