easy enough:

1) undo 3 jubilee clips
2) unpug connector
3) spray carb cleaner into the two outlets and give a good swill out
4) repeat until all clear
5) Refit, tighten jubilee clips and replug in the connector
6) Grab beer

Cheers

i removed mine from the car....
get a 9v battery and a couple of wires....loads of cleaner....carb cleaner has been mentioned, i used "Zip" clean...

connect the the battery to the 2 terminals in the ISV and spray cleaner until your nearly swimming in the stuff (what i mean is penty of cleaner)

then keep opening and closing valve to work the crud out.....took me half a dozen goes before the cleaning fluid was clean...

it is worth it in the end...

good luck

Pul the hose connections off, run the onboard diagnostics until they're operating the valve, and spray carb cleaner in.
