brettenator Member 66 Member For: 14y 4m 2d Gender: Male Posted 23/05/11 01:44 PM Share Posted 23/05/11 01:44 PM Hey gasman, make sure the solenoid is connected like so.If it already is connected this way make sure you get it checked on a dyno.PS: I apologise about the diagramSorry to be pedantic but my bottom hose connects to the side of the solenoid, not the very end. That's correct isn't it? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/42/#findComment-1108434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm'd & ahh'd about doing this (I've only had the car since Saturday), but in the end I decided to go for it & give the solenoid a hit of WD40. I'm really impressed with the increase in responsiveness down low. (is responsiveness a word? ) I also came across this about cleaning the throttle body:yea the throttle body clean works a treat easy to do as well I was scared at first but easysorry that its AFF but here http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=73561includes info on Throttle Body cleaning and boost solenoid , and Torquing of exuast manifold boltsIs the aim of cleaning the throttle body just to allow the butterfly to move more freely? ie: so it's not all gummed up? Is there any reason you'd clean deeper into the manifold? Would this have any benefits?

But anyway, I stick my fingers in as far at they will go Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/42/#findComment-1112517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't cleaned mine since getting my mods put on 35,000km ago, time flies! Was filthy.
