This comes In handy, I’ve stopped taking my Tacoma to the dealership for service and started working on it myself. Keep up the great videos
Great video. I'll add one tip. When replacing screws in plastic, anything from your truck, a kids toy or repairing electronics, place the screw into the hole and gently turn Counterclockwise. The screw will drop into the plastic and catch the original thread. Some may say it doesn't matter but after a few reinstalls you may find yourself looking for a larger screw because the threads got chewed up and enlarged the hole. Thanks again.
Great tip, thanks Terry!
literally got back from the dealership and they wanted to charge me $150 to clean it. thanks to this video ill be saving a lot of money!
Lol gotta love the dealership prices.
Thank you for showing all of the steps. Perfect video.
Thanks brother. Doing mine this weekend
I'm so glad you made this video. Going to clean mine now! Went to get emission and check engine light was on due to my MAF. Great video👍
Thanks for watching!
Another one of your videos that's right on target for me. I really need to join your patreon!! 😆 I'm not sure if this was the issue but on two occasions yesterday I lost about 80% of my power accelerating from a stop. There's no noise or codes, and it seems to come and go. I think a dirty MAF sensor is my most likely culprit, and once again your video came to the rescue. Thanks!!
Thanks for the video. Just did mine today! Looking forward to seeing your truck after the wreck.
Did this the other day while cleaning out my throttle body and installing a TB spacer for shitz and giggles. Keep in mind that it will reset your trip counter odometers, if u use them 2 count oil change intervals, etc.. Also the computer needs to readjust since the battery was disconnected. It may stall the first time you start it afterwards. Keep up the good work and keep on truckin'.
Thank you!! you saved us lots of money. Ten bucks and change for the CRC cleaner, minutes to remove and clean the unit, back in and all good. Your video was clear, easy to understand, easy to see everything and hugely appreciated
Thanks for watching Susanne!
I gotta get some maintenance done on my own truck as well, yours is looking good as always
Thanks buddy!
1st time doing this on my 2013 OR with almost 150k and looked really clean but cleaned it anyways. Thanks Brian.
Thanks for the vid! Something so simple and had no idea about it👍👍
Thanks!much appreciated, very helpful!
Thanks for this important info
Thanks for this video. Had to end up changing out the MAF sensor itself (it was all messed up). A new one was priced in the range of $70 to $150.
what symptoms did u have
Super helpful thanks! I plan on doing this and throttle body, the dealership would've charged me $210!
Your channel has saved me so much time/money thank you sir! Ps bumper to bumper great build
Thanks buddy!
I enjoy watching your 'avoid the stealerships' videos Well done sir.
Thank you!
Hey thanks for the handy video. The winch strap delete mod even worked on my Ram 3500! Genius! Lol
Got the P0171 and P0174. Gonna try to clean it first. Hope cleaning would clear the codes. Thx for the video!
Hope the cleaning helps.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for vid
Thanks for video. I have a 3rd generation TRD Sport and the mass air flow sensor is located closer to the air filter housing box on the rear side of the plastic tube that directs the air flow to the throttle body. Everything else was exactly as you described for the second generation. I have 30k+ on my Tacoma and the dealership said it needed to be cleaned along with the throttle body and change of differential and transfer case fluids. When I took out the mass air flow sensor to clean it, it looked pristine, so not really sure it was necessary. Next up, throttle body.
Thanks for watching Kevin! I did a throttle body cleaning tutorial as well.
Great video bro👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I probably need to do this again on my Tacoma. It really is a simple job if I can do it! Haha
Throttle body cleaning oh yeah my brother takes his and have it done I'm going to do my on and I'm going to do this for myself too
Thanks! This was very helpful. I'm in north Old Town Alex. Would love to hit the trails with a group if you are going out.
Thank you for the video. I have a 2012 TRD sport. Did a bunch of off roading and got the check engine + traction control. Disconnected the battery, it went off, but went back on after we did some more off roading, about 150 miles. Took it to autozone to read the code and it was the mafs. Gonna try and clean it to see if that does the trick. Thank you.
This was exactly it! Cleaned it with alcohol spray, took about 15 min with drying time. Truck is light free. Didn’t know I was supposed to clean the MAFS but will with oil and filter changes. Thank you so much for the video.
Glad to hear it helped!
Cleaned my factory MAF sensor after the CEL came on right at 100k. Drove 50 miles and it came back on so I replaced it with a new OEM one, never had in issue in the nearly two years since.
Did you use something other that MAF cleaner to clean it? Seen that happen a few times.
Nice! I swear I've seen you make a video like this before a long time ago haha
( I remember, "my truck is dying Pt.1" ) 🤟
Yessir, but that was just trying to really figure out a possible issue. Figured it was good to have it's own dedicated vid with more info.
@@Tacomaholic for sure brotha, you've helped me and others so much thanks !
Thanks for posting this vid -- very clear and right to the point. A minor suggestion: put a small magnet near the tip of the screwdriver so the MAF mounting screw is less likely to fall off. Please don't ask how I learned this trick.
How long did it take you to find that dropped screw? 😀
@@Tacomaholic Not long -- I heard it hit the pavement under the truck. Actually picking it up, though, took some doing . . .
WOW!
I have a trac off light as well as check engine on my 2015 tacoma. Going to try this will report back
Got an OBDII scanner?
I have the same problem on my 2013. Code p0101. Happened running the sand dunes without relocating the intake after removing the firewalls on the fender chop. Sucked up so much sand. Hopefully cleaning the maf sensor helps. Would you recommend cleaning the throttle body too just to be safe?
Lol you make this stuff sound radioactive ☢️🤣🤣🤣
Good video and tip!
Avoid the stealership!!
I ever use ppe
Good day my friend, what model of scanner you would recommend me for a 2013 Tacoma with a v6 and an automatic transmission. Great video, thanks, blessings.
Hey Richard! I've got this one and it does a great job: amzn.to/365xlRs
I plan on doing this today for my truck. No wonder its been losing fuel MPG and Power.
Hey Tacomaholic! I've seen it in other Taco Vids but where did you get the "flat metal" tailgate inside cover?
Hey buddy! Mobtown Offroad, here's the vid I did on them: ruclips.net/video/HW--APcneuQ/видео.html
I just did mine but I had some type of plastic spacers on the bolts looked up why and can’t find any info about it have you ever seen anything like that I noticed you don’t have them
What taillights are those? I really like the Trd in them!
A guy on Tacomaworld made them and the TRD part is just 3D printed.
How long before the code resets?
You have one Ons spark plugs and coolant? Also the rotors and brakes. 🙂
Love my EBC brakes.
Great video, even for experienced guys. Where did you get the pistons to hold your hood up? Is any drilling involved to install them?
Thanks John! Here's a link to the hood struts: amzn.to/2ZHYYLW They attach either with rivets or self-tapping screws.
Love the vids. Boomer!!!
Have you ever measured an mpg increase after cleaning this sensor?
I don't let my sensor get to the point where it's filthy, but I'd imagine you see a noticeable difference if you crunched the numbers between a dirty and clean one.
A brand new Denso MAF is $65 on Rock Auto (not $600 😜)!
Lol I must have been thinking about something else then. I swear I saw somewhere that they were crazy expensive.
@@Tacomaholic probably the air injection pumps. those are very pricey.
Gotta watch non one parts names. Bosch has not let me down
$600 holy shit what you been drinking!!!
After completing, does it take the motor’s computers a while to re-learn how to optimally run the truck?
Yeah it can take a few days for the computer to relearn.
Would you recommend using crc dielectric grease when reconnecting the sensors electrical connection?
Absolutely
I dunno, search of dielectric grease saying it had insulating properties good to prevent flash over say from your connection between spark plugs and their boot. Not good for metal to metal pieces connectors.
Thanks
Interesting that the air box is in a different location than on the 4Runner...is the engine bay smaller on the Tacoma’s?
Should be about the same size. Where is the air box on your 4Runner?
I have the 2014 4Runner BTW...it’s by the The front right fender...comes up through there then hits the filter ...it’s almost as if they just shortened the hose after the filter for the Tacoma’s...I guess if the cars aren’t built in the same plant they may not care?? But since it is the same engine...meh I’m just rambling lol
I also have a 2003 Tacoma and it’s in relatively the same spot as the 4Runner as well...just an interesting fact
Can I use throttle body and air intake cleaner?
I wouldn't. My CRC Throttle Body cleaner specifically says DO NOT spray onto mass airflow sensor.
Definitely not. Both will clean but the MAF cleaner is a formula that is safe for plastics. The TB cleaner will attack the plastic part of the MAF. Go to Wally World and get a combo pack that has smaller aerosol cans of both for under $8. Super cheap and safe.
These are anywhere from $35 for a cheapo one to approx. $100 for genuine Toyota.
Hey man I did this on my 2006 Tacoma just today and after I did everything it started really weird, feels and sounds slow, any idea to what I might have done wrong? Or maybe I just need a new sensor?
Was your battery disconnected during the cleaning?
Tacomaholic yes I disconnected the negative like you said to do and then reconnected afterwards. It’s actually feeling more normal now I drove it around a little bit. Does it usually feel a bit of strange right after cleaning it or no?
@@h_nt_r Yeah any time the battery is disconnected for a bit the computer resets and sometimes takes a little while to get back to "normal" mode. Should clear up quickly though.
Tacomaholic awesome thank you man
Whos your supplier for Cardboard???
Cardboard.com
My truck is missing one of the screws that hold the MAF down. Where can I get another one?
Dealership would be my best guess. You could at least find out what size it is from them and buy elsewhere if it's cheaper.
@@Tacomaholic good idea, thanks!
I really don’t want the dealer to do anything other than just the oil. They gave me a list of things to do for a 150000 mile service. $1200 service. I don’t think so. I will do it myself. I did the trany oil and diff oil myself already. Any recommendations on what I need to do at 150000? They have fuel injection/air induction cleaning. Engine crankcase & fuel system cleaning service( epr,MOA,44k) ext ext. Don’t really know all these abbreviations but they are crazy.
The maintenance manual for your truck should have everything listed.
Why are some 600 as you said and some are 20 I don't wanna hear its like just name brand is that all are we getting some big difference in the cash drop
You grabbed it by the base?
Better than the shaft
Tacomaholic to seize it by the base, entirely different. Always look forward to seeing what is next bro.
Is your tacoma manual?
Auto
Would a dirty MAF cause the engine to die?
No but it could KILL your mpgs.
@@Tacomaholic Thanks. Maybe my fuel pump is going out. Start it, it runs very briefly then dies. But it just started doing this, no problems as recently as of yesterday.
600 bucks? Idk where you got that price
do you know the symptoms of a dirty maf sensor?
Well it's something that develops slowly over time so just decreasing MPGs is probably the biggest sign.
Tacomaholic interesting, thank you! i have this problem with my Tacoma where the rpms seem to stick a little longer than they should which throws off my smooth shifting. so it accelerates pretty funny. and i read where it could be a dirty MAF or the throttle body
@@TNAWWE How many miles on your truck?
Tacomaholic 154K!!
@@TNAWWE Has the trans fluid ever been changed?
My sensor is flat and covered in metal. Not a cylinder.
Take all the electrics of and go old school
Could have sworn I saw somewhere that replacing the MAF cost $600 but apparently I'm delusional. 🙃
Haha. Yeah they're like $100
Toyota wants $171 as of 7/21/202
Amazon varies but $40 is about it.
Dealer charged me $178 to 'diagnose',... and wants $400 to replace.
F-that
follow up: I bought the part and a scanner for $50 on the Jungle Site - Total
@@titan9m Second follow up: Today I rcv'd the reader tool and a new MAF sensor. I pulled in the reader and got the Mass Air Flow sensor code. I then reset the codes. Drove around the block and guess what? No code. The dealer said that they had cleaned the sensor and that the code returned. Now maybe just maybe they did not wait for the cleaner to dry? Maybe it will fail again in a bit? We shall see.
-
But if it does not return I assert the diagnostic measure was incompetent for which they charged $178.
Then suggested that I have them replace the sensor for $171 plus $229 for the installation.
-
Guess who is pissed. Oh Yeah I spent the $50 buying a part and the reader.
-
AND then they will want me to go back?
not happening.
I get 10-12 but I don't drive like a girl either
Lol $600? Ok buddy
Very well done video. Great verbal explanation. I love that the camera did not bounce around like so many other people's video's. One guy's video of how to change the starter relay drove me NUTS. He didn't have a screwdriver so he used a vise grips to remove the relay. Of course that idiot broke it. :(
Thanks for watching Richard!
