AAN Cleaning MAF How To

[brian hoeft]

While I do have a can of MAF sensor cleaner, I dont use it for MAF's. Like
Ether/starting fluid MAF sensor cleaner is better on plastic/rubber than
other sprays.

For a MAF sensor, I would suggest denatured alcohol poured in a small glass
bowl you could dip the vane section only into and ?swish, for lack of a
better word, then let thoroughly dry (overnight) and reinstall.

this has only worked for me a couple times out of many. Usually its either a
bad(not worth repairing) MAF or its another problem.

good luck, brian
