V70: Engine - Cleaned the Inlet manifold pressure sensor

Today I whipped out said sensor. Looked like it had been dunked in tar. Subjected it to brake cleaner. I found a felt pen top which it fitted in, and filled it with cleaner and left it to soak for half an hour. Then jetted it with cleaner.

Initial outcome:

1. Engine seems to be running quieter and smoother.

2. Response may be slightly better.

3. MPG seems a little better, but still need to drive it more to confirm.

Definitely worth doing.

Go further and clean the EGR mixer . It'll run even nicer.
