It is a long story but I have a solenoid that controls vacuum to an actuator for an automotive HVAC air door. That solenoid is now sticking and will not close all the way. When energized the solenoid only provides about 4 to 5 PSI to to the actuator instead of normal 15 or so to operate the door. To remove to this solenoid I will have to tear apart the entire front of the dash. It will not be a fun job. I have access to the hose the solenoid controls and it is moving some air through it when I unplug it.
I got this idea of sticking the hose in a bottle of rubbing alcohol (or something else) and sucking some alcohol through it (and the solenoid valve) and on into the engine. I can not actually see the solenoid but I do have access to the hoses going to it.
Any ideas will be readily accepted.
