Hmm, I hadn't considered that. Luckily I didn't do any discernable damage to the engine, at least there isn't any more knocking and whining under the hood than usual. It seems to settle into idle after start much better now, but I'm thinking of cleaning it again tonight after work since I've still got over half a can left. I might even take the MAF sensor out and do that again too.

FYI: If anyone is thinking of replacing the PCV valve, the EGR valve, cleaning the TPS, installing a coolant backflush fitting, or replacing a split PS return hose, remove the intake duct from the engine. It opens up a ton of room to work in that area.

There's a couple guys here that have intimate experience (read: expense) with the term 'hydro-lock', and yes, it can be accomplished with a single can of carb cleaner.
