After you driving your car every day, your MAF sensor will get dirty, this affect the car to collect the correct data, here is what we do to fix it.
Here is what you need:
A Wrench
socket
grove<---if you want,i didn't
A brain (for common sense)
Maf sensor cleaner
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caution: don't use other cleaner, make sure the one you use is for MAF sensor, if not, you will damage the sensor and it cost 260 bucks to replace it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what i use
CRC MAF sensor cleaner. get it from Autozone, it is around $8............
First unplug the connector,loose the clips that holding the Air filter box, the bolt which holding the wire and the one connect the hose and the sensor.....
now you can take the whole thing off
This is the sensor, spray the cleaner inside the sensor 3-4 seconds and let it dry.
Follow those steps you just do to put it back and go take a drive, you should feel the different, at least i do.
Good luck
Sorry for poor english.

so just spray let dry and thats it? sounds easy
how about one for cleaning your throttle body?
I tried it and it worked.
I have to try that.. We sell that at R&S
where do you spray it exactly? just everywhere inside? or certain spot?
I'm really curious wtf is inside that can that doesn't destroy the sensor and somehow makes it ''cleaner''.

6 dents.
Yellowed, cloudy headlights.
spraypaint on the door panels.
I bet if you spray that in the throttle body with the engine running it will be exciting. (note the EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE warning on the bottom of the can)

Throttle body cleaner and a toothbrush is the only way to do it right.Originally Posted by dknight3

Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.
The only portion of the MAF that makes any difference is the suspended diode in the center of the MAF tube. The rest is just a container to hold the diode.

It's a mild petroleum based solvent that doesn't destroy plastic...

...lol i didnt use that stuff if you read the label it specifically says not for use on toyota turbo mafs, most lexus mafs and all mitsu mafs XD. not sure why but apparently its not good for it.

4g64 dohc turbo 5-speed
gt30r @20psi stock block,mbc
2.5" tbe
evo 8 ecu and maf
large fmic w/ cx racing intercooler pipes
wrx injectors @ 100psi fuel pressure
Because most Mitsu's use a Karman Vortex air flow meter,not a heated wire type.
Yeah you're right
10. DO NOT use on vehicles with a Karman-Vortex air flow sensor, e.g. Toyota Supra Turbos, Mitsubishi’s and most Lexus vehicles.
I clean my MAF every time I clean my filter. I use QD Electronic Cleaner the CRC electrical parts cleaner made for wire connectors and the like. Then after that dries I spray the residue off with a can of the compressed air the keyboard cleaning stuff. The QD Electronic Cleaner is delicate enough for Karman-Vortex sensors. I used to work at an auto part store and this was the suggestion by our Senior Tech when I went up to him showing that I cant use MAF cleaner on my car.

The QD electronic cleaner is very similar, but less concentrated I believe. The propellants are different as well.

When i got my self a new (used) MAF i used CRC electronic cleaner onnit before installing :)
On the throttle body u can use brake fluid to clean aswell. Be carefull so u dont get any fluids into the manifold.
I just used the electric parts cleaner 20 min ago and it has not had a effect on it, just cleaner, the MAF is still good
there ya go did you just clean the diode or the whole MAF? I dont mind cleaning the whole thing and then spraying the whole thing with the air cans to make sure there is nothing left when the car is started.
