mass airflow sensor cleaner

[galbre]

Hello all,
I read about CRC's mass airflow cleaner. Supposedly every time you change your air filter you give the mass airflow sensor a shot of this spray and it will keep it clean. I thought it might be a good idea since, on my last Explorer, I had a mass airflow sensor go and it was pretty expensive.

Has anybody used it? Any concerns?
Thanks,
Gregg

I used BG's Air Intake System Cleaner to clean my MAF, and throttle body. Works great. CRC chemicals are usually top notch too. I'd have no problems using it.

I use CRC electrical contact cleaner.

Cleaning the MAF sensor is more important if you're using an oiled cotton gauze filter element (i.e. K&N) compared to a paper element. They really don't get all that gunked up when you're running a paper element.

Thanks for all the feedback! I will give it a try next time I change the air filter.
