Section 03-04B: Fuel Charging and Controls—5.0L | 1993 Mustang Workshop Manual |
Refer to Section 00-03 for the recommended air cleaner assembly maintenance mileage interval. Cleaning the air cleaner or crankcase ventilation filter elements is not recommended. They should be replaced at the specified mileage intervals. Clean the air cleaner body and the cover with a solvent or compressed air. Wipe the air cleaner body and cover dry if a solvent is used. Inspect the air cleaner body and cover for distortion or damage at the gasket mating surfaces. Replace cover or body if they are damaged beyond service. Hold filter in front of a light and carefully inspect it for any splits or cracks. If filter is split or cracked, replace it.
