How to clean your maf with pics... updated
i went to schucks auto, but any auto parts store will do, and i picked up some maf cleaner, sensitive electronics cleaner will work too.
Next i unbolted my maf and placed it on the ground with the top being the filter side, the side on the ground is the throttle body side
Next, hold can about a foot away, and spray in pulses, about 15.. let dry, it should fairly quick because of the alcohol in it, but give it some time, a few minutes.
Use this wait period to clean the inside walls, i put that spray on a cloth and wiped it out, be sure not to go near the actual adapter, those filaments are easy to destroy.
After you are done cleaning, bolt back in. Take a drive around the block.... i always do!
hope this helps,
Chris
what i have circled in black is your actual sensor, when you spray, aim towards that, but make sure you are about a foot away. that is what you are actually cleaning. just spray in there, do not put anything in there!
what i have circled in blue, the the part you clean, just wipe down the whole inside. do not get anything in the black circle ie dust.
hope this clears some question up, keep the questions comin' if you got em
