MAF cleaning......
 

Whats the best product to clean the MAF?
I cleaned and re-oiled my K&N filter, now its idling funny. Think I may have over-oiled, and gotten oil in the MAF......

Thanks!

The second time I reoiled mine, I got too much oil on the filter. The car ran rough and smoked pretty good until it burned it off.

I've used rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. Just be careful not to damage the sensor wires.

I have used carb cleaner in a spray can. Remove the MAF, spray in the sample tube, reinstall and wait a few minutes before cranking again

Thanks guys!
I had read to use CDC electrical contact cleaner on the MAF, but wanted to get ya'lls opinions first!:worship:
Thanks again!

That would probably work fine too; however, if it's really bad, you'll still need to use a Q-tip to get the junk off.

On a side note, be sure to know that cleaning an extremely dirty MAF can require a tune change if it was tuned while it was dirty. I ran into this problem earlier this year. I had my MAF transfer curve dialed in almost perfect and then I cleaned my MAF (actuall small chunks of black stuff came off of the sensor wires). After cleaning it, my curve was waaaaay off.

I always used the CDC stuff.

brake cleaner works good too.. I cleaned my MAF out right before they tuned my shit

Thanks for the great tip!
Luckily, my dyno tune was done with a clean MAF. Probably why its idling like crap now....not so clean anymore.....
