What to use to clean MAF
I read the how-to on cleaning the MAF. It mentioned brake cleaner. What have you guys used?
I have been losing power while on the hwy and I think the MAF is dirty or going south. After reading the posts I don't belive its the fuel pump.

They sell cleaning sprays especially for the MAF at most autoparts stores.

I couldn't believe all the gunk that came off of my MAF when I cleaned it (with MAF cleaner)!

Re: What to use to clean MAF
do you do it with the car running or do you take it out and do it over a towel or on the grass.
LetItSnow: What improvement did you notice after you cleaned it? What was it doing before that made you want to try cleaning it?

Re: What to use to clean MAF
Disconnect the battery, unplug the harness and spray it . Don't touch the MAF, just spray it clean.

Honest answers:
It was clean. Quote:
All told, anything that can absorb or insulate heat that's not supposed to be where it is can cause sacrifices with efficiency. Did I gain 2mpg or 3whp? Doubtful. Doesn't hurt to have the thing cleaned once in a while, though.
