MAF Sensor Cleaning Question

MDewell · April 23, 2008

Sorry for the quality..took the pic with my phone..

Where exactly is my MAF Sensor...the green or red circle? I'm trying to figure it out so I can clean it because I think it's the cause of some my problems and from what I'm reading on here, it's a good thing to do.

Should be the Green circle... closer to the airbox. The red one is on the throttle body. You should be able to see that the one with the green circle only has that sensor in the mount, and the red one will have other cables going to it.
I don't have that engine but I'm 99.9% sure.

He's right, it's the green one. Just unplug it and take out the security torx screws. It will come straight out, and you can clean the little filaments.

Just ****** it with rubbibg alcohol or spray it out with electric parts cleaner.

I do mine every oil change and it makes a difference.

Thanks! I'm going to clean it out this weekend and I'll update what the results are.

I spray mine out at oil changes as well.
