  • Cleaning MAF Sensor

    Am I supposed to remove the MAF Screen to spray the MAF sensor clean? Or can I just spray the can through the screen?

    The first time i re-oiled my K&N Filter I think I over did it. I just want to make sure I clean the MAF Sensor correctly. Thanks!

    You could probably go either way, is it messing up on you now?

      Yeah, you could go either way.

      The screen is being held by a ring. I tend to use the dentist steele needs (the ones they use to scrap your gum) to insert in those 2 small holes and can the ring out. The screen will easily pop out after that.

        Its not messing up on my really. I just think last time I over oiled my K&N filter. I just want to make sure its nice and clean. I don't want to make it die before its time due to the K&N Oil.

        Could MAF Cleaner do any harm? I heard some people say they had issues with their MAF afterwards.

          you can always take the maf out of the throttle body, via the 2 screws :)

              Oh sweet! I didn't even realize our engines had that. So I can just take out the 2 screws and it all comes out, then just spray and put it back in? Thats much easier. :)
