Hey guys, newbie question here, I am going to clean my MAF today and I am wondering what to use? I have searched and a lot of people suggest electrical contact cleaner, and then I read this write-up: http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.ph...26&topic=317.0 and it is suggested to use brake cleaner? My truck has 240,000 on it and I am positive it has never been cleaned, I just bought the truck it is a 96 Tacoma.


Thanks for the help

 

How 'bout a can of MAF sensor cleaner. It's made by CRC.

 

I used electrical contact cleaner, just be very careful. Here is a good write up: http://4runners.org/writeups/throttle/index.html

 

CRC makes two products that will work. MAF Sensor Cleaner (harder to find), and Brakleen (easy to find and works well). I used Brakleen and it worked great and evaporated extremely fast. I think it's about $4 a can at AutoZone.

Good luck!

Brakleen works well too, I used it a few times

 

Thanks guys

 

No prob!

 

No problem, just be sure to be really gentle with the sensor...I wouldn't stick the "straw" of the can anywhere near the actual sensor and don't blast it too hard.

Good luck! Post up with results!
