reusing some parts...

I know this sounds real chap, but when you are on a budget, you try and scrape by.


I have a set of plugs that only have MAYBE 30 miles on them, but are carboned up, due to too much fuel.

Can i clean them, and reuse them? i know what cylinders they came from.
If so, what can i clean them with?


Also, can O2 sensors be cleaned. Same deal as the plugs, Pretty much new, but i imagine the have seen ALOT of sute go through them. What would be goood to clean them?
Brake cleaner?

Ive used brake cleaner on an 02 and it still worked fine after and cleaned it up nice.

Plugs all ive ever done is re gap them and throw them back in.

I don't think I would use brake clean on a O2 sensor, But then again MAF's are pretty seny as well.
A good person to ask Warren is 6000nd he's a mad man when it comes to suff like this.

As said before a wire wheel will clean the plugs up great.
Even a wire cup on a drill or dremal will work.

Copper plugs are cheap, I'd just replace them, especially since you're blown.
