bank 1 lean - bank 2 lean

Carb cleaner does have a lubricant added to it sometimes, but brake cleaner does not. Just make sure you use non-chlorinated type. MAF sensor cleaner is nothing more than N-heptane and isopropanol. Same concept as non-chlorinated brake cleaner but evaporates faster. Brake cleaner typically is pressurized toluene and xylene, both of which are hydrocarbons present in everyday gasoline.

In fact, before a specific chemical was created to clean MAF sensors, the service manuals typically suggested a fast drying non-chlorinated brake/parts cleaner be used on them.
I've been using it for years and I ain't lost a one yet! ;)

more problems

we were out last night and while driving on dry road at about 35 to 40 mph the front end started making a grinding noise like maybe the 4wd was trying to engage - my wife has told me it has done it before but never when i was driving - she said that when it did it to her it was way worse - is this thing possesed or what ??
 






Not quite...

It's just getting older and needs what sounds like a bumper to bumper inspection. What else does the wife know about the vehicle that you don't? ;)
 






the mechanic where i work will be back from his month long vacation on wednesday and i'm gonna have him look it over - it's due for a new inspection sticker anyway so i'll have them give it a look and then i can tell the mechanic at the lot i bought it from what to fix
 






Take the wife too... she might have a lot more to say.

I'm talking like I know something... My wife's gas cap is no longer locking, it just opens right up without the key. And she knew...
