Another good one I think, is get a can of carb cleaner, remove the air intake pipe and start the car. Open the throttle out wide and spray the carb cleaner, it bogs the engine down, burst spray so it keeps the car on. If you know what I mean....I did it with the old engine a few times and it was pretty sweet.

Did this when cleaning my throttle body on my 16v aswell as my vr and never caused any problems.

Big difference when a car runs on............ compared to dropping a low gear at 6RPM  :kiss:
