Re: hissing noise

I dont really know i have never tried to clean one up.They get pretty nasty and black.Maybe if u soaked it for a while n somthing that breaks down the carbon on it or spray it with alot of carb cleaner. I suggest getting a new one only bout 25 bucks if i remember right. Good luck

Re: hissing noise

Check your coolant lines. I had a pin hole in my upper radiator line and it was making a hissing noise.
