  • Did you know that, IF you clean this, Engine will burn less fuel, because when the mass air flow sensor miss calculate the amount air entering the intake send more fuel to compensate for the lack of oxygen

      No, bc it will leave a layer for better electric contact , but we don't want that on the sensor, if you use mass airflow sensor, it won't leave any residue on the sensor, so it will give u accurate reading

      Better off getting a new one , they tend to go back after 70-100k miles depends on how long it's been in the engine , but if you take it out and clean every 30k miles (when you swap out air filter) then it can prolong the life out the MAF

      Could be this if you haven't changed your air filter in a while , they tend to get backed up with dirt and debris , making the engine think it's not getting any air flow, so try that. Also check purge valve , they tend to go bad aswell causing the engine to stall, making it think it's not getting enough fuel to the engine

      It is recommended that you use ONLY mass air flow sensor cleaner. All of the other cleaners are either too harsh or they leave behind a residue when they dry which will actually throw the reading of the sensor off and mess up your fuel trims making your vehicle run poorly.
