    If your talking about the flame trap on the rocker cover (hose goes to plenum) then just clean it in petrol or degreaser and that should get the gunk out.

    Are you referring to the one on top of the driver's side rocker cover?

    If so, remove it by unscrewing it, pull the filter out & wash it out with Kero or similar. It's only a wire mesh filter.

    From another thread:

    Here's some pics I took of the flame trap from one of my cars - before and after:



    Guess which is which!

    After an overnight soak, I washed it out with a hose. It might need two soaks.


    Caveats

    Caustic soda (commonly used as a drain cleaner) is dangerous. Absolutely follow the instructions on the can. Do not add water to the caustic soda, add the chemical to water. To do otherwise can lead to the water boiling and spitting up into your eyes. Making up the solution is highly exothermic - it creates heat - it can even ignite flammables.

    Do not get it on your clothes - it will eat through them (ask me how I know - I learnt this as a 13-yo)

    Wear gloves and eyes protection - it is highly alkaline and as its name says, caustic. It will burn.
