How do I clean these? and most importantly, where are they? Hah.

 

The Mass Air Flow Sensor is the little plug you'll see that connects into the side of where your intake is. They should sell some of the cleaner at your local Advance if I'm not mistaken.

 

There are spray cans specifically for and aptly named throttle body cleaner... might want to remove it to do a proper job... maybe bore it out slightly while you have it off too.

 

the MAF (mass air flow sensor) meters incoming air entering the engine and reports its findings back to the computer so the computer can determine the amount of fuel needed.

The throttle body is the portion containing the butterfly which based on throttle position allows for more or less air to enter by opening or closing.

 

go ahead and bore the throttle body bore it to much it wont close and i'll laugh

 

I would say if you don't know where they are you might not want to do it yourself. Yes it is very easy to, but you might want to look up some info on the parts and learn some at the same time.

 

Why do you want to clean them anyways? Our cars shouldnt be old enough to warrant it considering my truck has 200k miles and some offroad abuse and it's TB barely has anything on it.

 

My TB gathered some crap after running the aftermarket intake.. I spray and wipe mine down periodically with some throttle body cleaner.. As for the MAS, I just unscrew it, and wipe it down with a moist cloth.. Seems to work alright?

 

Ahh, I have stock intakes on my truck and my car so I didnt take that into consideration, I take it yours is an oiled filter?

 

CRC Maf cleaner. dont bore!

some people man

 

Don't put that on me Nick, you told me the first story

 

The Injen one was dry, but the new K&N one isn't..

 

Yeah, that is about the only thing I hate about K&N. Most of thier crap last wonderfully it is just all oiled.

 

A moist alcohol pad works pretty well. I would be very careful when handling the MAF sensor.

Or you might end up having to replace it like mine....

 

i wasnt saying anything on you
