Cleaning a MAF?
Cleaning a MAF?
Is i possible to clean a MAF with perhaps electrical cleaner. My car had been acting funny lately, so i took the MAF out and discovered it was pretty dirty. Has anyone tried cleaning one of these before. I keep a spare one with me at all times, but would still like to keep the other one if at all possible.
Also, has anyone else noticed that the 5th gen MAF is alot longer than the 5.5 gen? Does one MAF perform better than the other?

I had to go to napa and get some CRC brand maf cleaner. And make sure it is MAF only, the other stuff might damage the sensor.
