Cleaning your MAF

[lgrt]

Recently pulled apart my K&N CAI and reinstalled the stock cold air intake. While ripping and replacing I put together a write-up, video and pictures on how to clean your mass air flow (MAF) sensor.



Hope it helps.

Very helpful information. Once the deep freeze of winter is over i'll be sure to get this done.

Cheers

Howdy! Good info. That MAF looks identical to the one in my daughter's 2000 Echo. It is p/n 22204-22010 or 22204-0d030. I cleaned hers, but it did not do any good. The car ran like crap until I got the MAF replaced. Considering that there are more than two wires going into the MAF, I figured there was more to it up inside the long snout. I am guessing it is either air temp or pressure. I was tempted to tear it apart, but it got tossed before I could break it open. John

I have a question... Isnt that electrical cleaner bad for rubber parts, and can the rubber "O" ring be removed before spraying?

Just a thought,
Bobby

you may also want to put a thin layer of white grease on the O-ring to protect it and help it slide back into it's home.
