I know many of us have old MAF sensors. While I don't belive that cleaning the MAF will completely restore it, a cleaning may well extend useful life. I've already heard very good things about 'CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner' that I have seen for ca $7 at Kragen. Someone saw it also at Pep Boys.

AutoZones Brake parts cleaner, which contains trichloroflorothane, with much success! ;O)

I got an extra 6 months life out of my MAF.

That CRC MAF cleaner is the first dedicated product that I'm aware of. Who knows, maybe it's just relabeled contact or brake cleaner. ;-)

..but the CRC MAF cleaner I used was in a red can. I did't notice a difference, but then again my MAF may have been clean enough.

But absolutely the fastest acting, zero residue fastest evaporating electronics cleaner there is or likely will EVER be again. Its what God uses ;-)

is it in the green can or the red can?

MikTip

which I suspect, is not for sale in every state?

Because of enviromental laws associated with the trichlorothane.

MikTip

I might take some for a test drive :O)

..every time you turn the car off, that MAF hot wire heats to 1000 degrees to clean itself. For one second. Every time you shut the car down.
