What does a clean MAF look like??

Post by iinan »

After gettting frustrated with my CEL coming on after my CAI installation I thought I would clean my MAF. Indeed it looks like a brown q-tip, so I removed it and sprayed it with some o2 safe carb cleaner.... And it still looks like a brown q-tip. Is there a pic somewhere of what a clean MAF should look like? Thanks for any help.

There is a how-to in the HOW-TO forum on Matrixowners.com that has numerous pics. I'd give you the link but the site is blocked while I'm at work.

Thanks Mase, that really helped those pics really helped alot, and now I know the brown q-tip is not really the MAF at all but a air temp. sensor Are you the Mase that I knew from my EQ days??
