[s-cars] Re: Violent Deceleration Under WOT

Or you could buy a can of electrical contact cleaner (cheap) and
spray the MAF contacts and MAF cable liberally, potentially using a
toothbrush to aid in cleaning.

If it does nothing you are out a cheap can of contact cleaner, BUT if
the problem goes away you know it isn't a bad boost hose AND the car
drives correctly.

Know though that if it doesn't fix your problem it doesn't mean you
have a ruptured boost hose, it could be a bad MAF.

It's cheap, easy and fast....why not try it?

I went NUTZ searching for a boost leak on my car for eight months until
I stumbled uupon the previously posted article on SJM's site.
