How are you cleaning your MAF?
I read 2-3 posts were people were haveing similar engine problems to what I am going thru. The recommendations were to clean the MAF. This is my question: What do you clean it with? What do you clean, the sensor, the housing, what? Please let me know. you guys rock!

and what was the new feeling after you changed the MAF. Is it worth it changing it. I have an 01?
Thanks

Do what sloppymax said. I use brake cleaner for both my max and S10 Crew Cab
and air dry it with an air compressor. This works great and it never gave me
any problems. Good luck

BLACK2000 just go to Autozone and pick up some CRC electrical parts cleaner, and when you take out your MAF just spray it down all around, this CRC stuff is made for sensititive electronics and dries completely almost immediately upon contact. It worked great for me (mine was pretty dirty after 100k miles)
Good luck

Actually, on that note... why do they fail?
