So everything seemed to go well this morning... fuel filter changed, IMRC disconnected and transistor re-soldered. Opened throttle body valve to clean inside and sprayed the carb cleaner through into the inlet manifold to give it a clean.


All put back together, turned the key to start and BANG! Small amount of vapour coming from the engine bay and the whole inlet manifold has popped off of the four connection points?!

I held the throttle body valve open for a while to dry it out, but would this noise and pressure be from the carb cleaner igniting inside the manifold or something???

Doesn't look to be any physical damage, just as though the pressure has removed the rubber hose connections. Anybody else had this experience?!!
