After taking all the intake parts off, how do you remove this part so you can get to and clean the throttle body? I can't remove the entire TB cuzz I can't afford another gasket at the moment.
\"Well, we don\'t care how bad-*** some dude\'s N/A Honda S2000 motor is; if you go up against 900+ pushrod ponies and 750 pounds of earth-shaking torque with a wrong-wheel-drive econobox, you\'re gonna get a fast and furious old-school ***-whipping.\"
Get a pair of needle nosed pliars. Att he front of the Throttle Body is a very thin metal snap ring. It's a pain to take out, but once you do, you can gently, GENTLY pull out the screen.
I think I damaged one or two fins in the MAF screen when I pulled it out.

actually since you have a 1997 you would probably have better results leaving the MAF screen in, as its purpose is to straighten airflow before the sensor. On a straight throttle body application with a lid induction system you might be able to get away with no screen, but on a 97 with that elbow right in front of the throttlebody you will most likely get erratic MAF sensor readings which isnt worth the hundreth of a horsepower you will get from less intake restriction

Taking out the MAF screen is dangerous. My roommate with a 01 SS had a rock fly up and go through the filter and hit the screen. I feel sorry for anyone silly enough to remove something designed to protect the engine internals over a less than 1 HP gain. It's a worthless mod that does nothing.
MAF screen has VERY different effects on new / old cars and stick / auto cars. My car, stick, in gear, wanted to be at like 1500 rpms without the screen, so it raced around parking lots when I was trying to idle. Screen back in, no probs.
The MAF screen always saves my engine from eating a few pesky bugs that get passed my filter so I'll leave mine in. I noticed no difference when I ran without mine.

whip it out. I took my MAF screen out, and didn't notice a change. I actually think i may have lost some torque. If your dyno sheets prove it ill prolly put it back in.
MAF! is pointless on angle TB car's. I pulled mine and had nothing but problems after the cam so I put it back in.

run TWO and THREE were WITHOUT the MAF screen...just so people couldn't say "uhh well the PCM had to compensate for the airflow." :rolleyes:
