How do I do this? ahhhhh
You may have the multi-point injection system as on my late 2 litre SE (everyone always seems to criticise!)

If so you need to clean the pipe that comes from the top side of the inlet manifold towards the drivers side of the car. Follow that pipe down until you come across the flame trap that looks to be the same as the one on earlier single point injection models. Do be careful with the flame trap because as said previously the plastic is very brittle- I had to repair a previous bodge where someone had been too heavy handed some time before!

Mine was so bad it took ages to get a single piece of wire through the thin pipe which was so full of oily crud. The difference since has been marked- much smoother and rev happy.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
