I'll probably stick around my car,
especially if it's hot out since we'll
have a tent... unless there's something really
new and special that I haven't seen before.

have a chance, but what the hell. Let people see what I have done.

pots & pans .. j/k.. 91% alcohol.. put the sensor in a ziploc bag.. pour some alcohol on it.. swish it around a little.. and then let it air dry..

i know others say that 90% or better is fine, but i would highly recommend higher. go to longs drugs (if there is one around you) and pick up some 99%. it does make a difference.

get a big ziplock back, pour in the bottle, stick the sensor in, seal, and shake awake.

you dont really have to let it sit over night. a little air drying is fine, especially with 99%, once some air hits any residue, it will go away.

for some reason, the 99% cleans the maf a whole loads better. it may be just me, but i had to reclean the maf with regular 91%, but when i did it with 99%, never had to do it again.

they had 91%... no 99%
will look for it though.

Something tells me running around without a MAF can't be good, if it's even possible to drive the car at all.
