I had a friend that is an auto technician come over to look at my rough idle on my truck. We tried pulling codes, but got nothing.
He decided to run some Seafoam through the truck. We got the Spray Can of seafoam, and he sprayed it directly in through the throttle body, while I was reving up the motor. He also sprayed a few shots onto the MAF sensor.
We then let the truck sit for about 20 minutes, then started it back up. We didn't get the big smoke show (which I got the last time I used Seafoam about 5 years ago), but the idle seemed to be a little better. We drove it around a little bit, then parked it. A couple days later, I ran the codes again, and I got an error P0102: Mass Air Flow Circuit Low Input.
I have a feeling that spraying the Seafoam on the MAF was a bad idea. Do you think I ruined it? Should I get some MAF cleaner and spray it on the sensor, and see if I can still clean it this way? I really don't want to have to replace the MAF sensor for the $100-$270 that the part costs....
Any help is appreciated! Todd.
