![]() ![]() I AM SOOO HAPPY!!!! Thi is one quick DIY I should've done a long time ago!!! and now I will continue to do it when I notice any future lag. Let my car warm up for a min and took off.Īt first it was running a little sluggish and not smooth at all!!!I was kinda freaking out as if I did something wrong (didn't allow MAF to dry completely or should have let car warm up more) but after 3 miles the car smoothed out and it EAGERLY RACED TO REDLINE like it did when it was brand new!!! I disconnected my battery to reset the ECU. I followed the DIY and was a little skeptical as to if this would work. I also have a PLP reusable air filter that was recently cleaned and reoiled so I was good there. I also purchased an in-cabin air filter from Bosch for 14.99 (which of topic I would not recommend since its fitment is not 100% like stock but does the job. The other two electronics parts cleaners were both 4.99 each. I bought the "CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner" for 6.99. I was about to buy that one when I saw one that specifically stated Mass Airflow Cleaner. One was for parts like the alternator/starter/and such while the other one was intended for wiring and connectors. I went to Murray's/O'Reileys and asked for an electronics parts cleaner. So, if your car is feeling a bit sluggish, which I suspect is a large number of you guys, clean your MAF sensor! it did wonders for me, and I'm sure it'll do the same for you.Īnother member, VP500 had previously posted a DIY on how to clean your MAF sensor, so here are his pics w/ annotations in addition to my own annotations:ġ) buy an electronics cleaner spray can that doesn't leave any residue you can buy this at any Radio Shack and/or auto store like Advance Auto Parts.I just happened to buy it from Radio Shack ($10): OMG!! my car was like 100x more responsive AND 100x faster!! At this point, I felt like I could beat my friend's GTR in a race!! hahahahha!! Then I hooked my battery back up and started my car and took it for a spin around the block. One of my MAF filaments sensors was COMPLETELY engulfed in some nasty brown cake/dirt!! I proceeded to spray both the temperature needle sensor and the 2 MAF filament sensors VERY generously and then let it air dry.Īfter that, I unplugged the positive side of my battery and pumped the brakes a couple times to reset the ECU. ![]() ![]() There is a temperature needle sensor on the outside and 2 MAF filament sensors inside the MAF cyclinder. I unscrewed my MAF sensor, took it out and checked out the needle and filament sensors. So, after work today, I bought and installed a NEW air filter (about time to change my old one out anyways), and I also bought a can of electronics cleaner from Radio Shack. So, after doing some research, I figured it was my MAF sensor. ![]() On top of that, every once in awhile, I'd get a check engine light, but it'll go away after a day or two. So I noticed recently that my car would jerk and hesitate when I gas it from a standstill at a stop sign or traffic light.and then even moving from a rolling stop, when I try to floor it, it'll move a little bit, but it was still VERY sluggish.At this point, I think even a Corolla could beat me in a race starting from standstill!! ![]()
