Intake Manifold Cleaning??
While cleaning the throttle body(removed it and cleaned it on the bench) and replacing the PCV I noticed a build up of residue in the intake. Is there any way to safely clean the intake? With prevoius vehicles I usually used a spray cleaner injected into the TB, but is this method safe for a Hemi with MDS?

I believe Chrysler put a TSB out advising AGAINST using a TB cleaner for this, I think it screws with the sensor, brake cleaner is recommended.
There is an excellent DIY in that section for this:

pull the whole thing off, ten bolts and undo the wiring harness. remove all the sensors and spray away. other wise your spraying a liquid cleaner into a dry manifold that does NOT allow for equall washing err cleaning of the intake runners in each cylinder....
