How to Clean MAF?!?!?

[93MTXSHO_STUD]

Ok, I found out my problem was the MAF being dirty or something like that because when I unplugged it, my car ran much better than before. Is there a good way to clean the MAF or do I need to buy a new one?

carefully remove the MAF and hose the two electrodes with electrical contact cleaner or some other cleaner that wont leave a film behind.

Yeah, you can buy some electrical contact cleaner at your local auto parts store. Use that and spray the electrodes until you consider tehm clean.

Some have been known to use a sponge swab, but IMHO I wouldn't directly touch the electronics with anything solid.

CFC-free (non-chlorinated) brake cleaner works great.

Be careful. I broke mine because it caught on a tiny string on my shirt and bent the pole. Expensive mistake.
