Where do ya get it???

 

Haha at the 4-10 horsepower gain....

 

I don't know, but Advance Auto sells CRC products (brake cleaner, throttle body cleaner, etc) so I assume they will sell this as well....

4-10 hp gain could be possible if your MAF is really, really dirty. Ever changed from an "old" (dirty) MAF to a brand new one? I have....the difference is night and day in terms of power and engine smoothness...

 

I can buy this by the case,i bought a single to use and it didnt mess up my sensor but nor could i tell any difference.I called advanced,autozone,and pep boys and not one of them had it yet.I think it is still new,but i do have a can,and can get more.

 

so who tried it?

 

I would love to try it. I've been having a problem with my car stalling out when I put the car in Park after driving around. Had a fuel injector flush and throttle body flush already. I think it might be the MAF

 

Didn't try it yet, but it's in stock at Checker..Schucks..Kragen..Advance Autoparts for $5.99. Just bought some.

 

Cool. I'll have my local Advance order it. Autozone carries CRC but not these yet. I didn't see any CRC products at my Advance when I looked last week though.

Update - PepBoys had these in stock. I really don't care for their stores but often they carry fluids nobody else does (Redline for instance)

 

I will subscribe to hear about the actual results. I am very afraid of it shortening the life of the MAF

 

I used rubbing alcahol to clean mine.

 

hell yess immuh go to Pepboys to look for that n try it

 

i used some stuff like that to clean mine awhile ago. i think it was for sensitive electronics though. not actual maf cleaner but it worked.

 

Brake cleaner would probably do the trick as well.

 

Never use break cleaner on the MAF, you will damage the thin film resistor!

 

LOL..."proven" They need to prove that to me.

 

How does a dirty MAF look like??? I just took mine out today, looked pretty clean to me. I have 200,000 KM on my '00, my acceleration is 9sec 0-60, and at 4000 RPM I feel like something is holding the car back, oh yeah and my gas mileage is *** (8 km/l or 19 MPG). This is frustrating the hell out of me. Everywhere I look everything seems to point to the MAF as being the culprit of the problem, why would I change a $300 part when it looked pretty clean, a little black dust on the mesh but inside the tube it was spotless. CAN SOMEONE HELP HERE!!!Plz

 

8.x km/L is very normal for me... i only have 70000km on my 2000... just wondering do u drive short distance alot?

 

yah used that when i do my last oil change... did not feel anything.....

 

Hows your acceleration? I'd say I drive 50 highway 50 city. When reading up on others with an '00 maxima and same mileage, I see people getting 10 or 11 km/l. With gas prices these days, those extra two km's/l help a lot.

 

It's been out for a while, it just too a litle bit to reach all the local stores. I've just used it last weekend. I may be a combination of the thorough TB/IM cleaning and a new knock sensor. But the car feel 2X better on the low end (1500-3000rpm). The gas mileage also seems to be improving.

 

8.x km/l is mostly city with short trips...
9.8km/l is the most i got out of for 100% highway at 3000 rpm all da way... i got 570km out of that tank...

 

so anyone used this yet?

 

The real question is who HASN'T used this yet.

 

damn i read like half this thread then see if from 2006

guess this stuff has been around a while now huh

 

used it on sunday, this product is the shizzzznits.

 

i should check if its available here in canada

do u feel any difference ?

not placebo

 

yeah is there anywhere in canada that stocks this stuff? i dont believe you can ship this stuff, as its probably flammable.

 

i duno, i was thinking about the same thing up there, try partsource and crappy tire first

 

There was no placebo w/ me, but my MAF saw 2-3% more flow.

 

I agree, i've used the CRC electronic contact cleaner and it really works wonders. jus spray the MAF when it is dognose cold, let it air dry and re-install. only thing i noticed, car runs excellent but idle is up a bit from 750rpm to like 800, when i do a volume learn, car performance goes down as well, as well as mileage.

 

CRC SPRAY FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!

my idle is around 650 RPMs, and it does NOT flucuate at all

 

Will Brake cleaner or Electronic parts cleaner also work?

 

Why not just buy the CRC stuff?

 

Don't think available in Toronto.

 

Where have you checked?

CRC called Sensorclean

Available UAP Napa

quote part # CRL75110

 

i got a flat pickup around the high end of 1st and the low end of 2nd gear. feels sluggish at those low gears. from what people have said to me, both in real life and on here, these are the things i should be looking at:

1) throttle body cleaning
2) mass air filter
3) knock sensor
4) throttle line tightening
5) fuel filter
6) spark plugs


is there anything im missing?
in what order should i be doing these things (in terms of importance)?
all help appreciated.

 

Local autoparts store wanted almost $12 for that CRC MAF cleaner! Most other CRC products in that store were between $2 and $4. I was going to try it to revive my old MAF cleaner just for fun but $12 is too much. I suppose if it were available in the past, I might had tried it before ordering the new MAF. Has anybody managed to get rid of P0171 code after using this particular cleaner on their MAF?

I just bought it today for 6.99 at advanced
