[Shotimes] 80mm MAF failure, CLEANING procedure and Materials?

[Bruce Malachuk]

I used a non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Never had any problems using it to
clean a MAF.

Hello John and Everybody,

Once more I need ask about MAFs.  I deleted the email, and can't find it in
the archives. Pasted below is all I found relating to the topic, CLEANing
the MAF.

Someone mentioned what was safe to use to clean the sensor, incase it was
oiled up by the K&N filter.  it
was something safe and not too powerfull..   anyone? 
Thanks a lot.. :)

I don't recall anyone mentioning these possibilities and you may have
eliminated them already.

An over-oiled cloth air cleaner, such as a K&N. The MAFS Ni-Cr wires if
dirty may cause strange voltage outputs.

Dirty or wet air filter element.

The sensor wires cleaned with an over agressive solvent such as carb
cleaner, possibly causing internal MAFS damage.

Wiring harness/connector problem in the MAFS circuit.

Air leak between throttle body and MAFS.

Connection between the PCM and LPM.

Ambient air or coolant temperature sensors.
