Hi Gerry.
It will need at least 3 hours to dry out on a good warm day, you can help the process by swinging back and forth to get excess water droplets out, you can also use an old rag on some wire to wipe it out, or ask your wife, partner, girlfriend, if you can use the hair drier and use that on the low heat to dry it out.

Always remember that the MAP sensor and the seal must be removed from the maniflod before cleaning.
