Finally did UIM/LIM

[Reebs]

Is there a way to easily tell if the UIM/LIM needs to be cleaned? I bought the car a couple years ago used, and I've never done it. ('98 2.5L V6). However, a few months ago I had a intake gasket leak, and I am thinking the mechanic probably would have cleaned the intake when he replaced the gasket. If I was to do the cleaning, I'd probably have to wait a couple months for nicer weather.

A mechanic would not clean it like it should be cleaned. I spent hours soaking and scrubbing mine clean, but now they are purty as can be. Well, at least they were 3,000 miles ago!

I can guarentee that your car could use a cleaning of the lim/uim!
