Subject:Re: removing intake manifold 2.1L

On an interesting side note, I had my Jeep in the dealer to get a recall
taken care of and the service manager told me that my car was scheduled to
have the throttle body decarbonized and the fuel injectors flushed. My Jeep
has 53K miles and this is "recommended" from the dealership every 25K. I
hate it when they try to get people to buy in to their goofy maintenance. I
declined the extra service, but I should have asked him what was involved
with these difficult sounding services. I'm sure he would have given me an
important sounding story, but I'd be surprised if they did anything more
than spray some carb cleaner in the intake, and put a bottle of fuel
injector cleaner in the tank. Flush the fuel injectors, come on.
