Maybe it needs doing a few times to start with if there's a lot of build up.

Silicone based products may damage your wideband sensor. Not sure about the narrow band sensors or what other products may do damage.

FORDCRAZY Member 36 Member For: 14y 2m 1d Posted 06/11/11 06:45 AM Share Posted 06/11/11 06:45 AM (edited) Just for those who are mechanically challanged, for the battery when disconnecting which terminal do I take of first and which do I put on first when reconnectingcheers a good tip for when removing or disconnecting battery. Get a 9v battery (square type) the matching Plug for it, attach alligator clips on each wire. Then clip them on the matching leads +/+. -/- when car battery is removed this will prevent alarm turning on and it will save your icc settings.

Power feels much more linear. Didn't have to take the battery out.
