Hi all,

1991 Vanagon Carat MT stock everything.

I was wondering about cleaning the Idle Control Valve and various other
parts. (not the AFM as I just ordered a new one, was experiencing "vanagon
syndrome" before i removed this engine, figured I'd start fresh on the new
to me rebuilt motor)   Everything is pretty oily on the inside and very
grimy on the outside.  Parts I'm talking about cleaning include, throttle
body, Idle control valve, crankcase breathing tower(not sure of proper name
for this),

I was thinking just some carb spray...any reason not to use this?

also and sorry for not knowing the name of this part, but near the AFM there
is a single wire going to a part that is about the size of a 14mm long
socket It's hollow but D shaped inside, what is this?

someday I'll answer a question as opposed to just asking them.
peace,
-Ry
