People who upload these videos like you deserve a special reserved place in heaven. You will save people millions through all your videos eventually. Truly amazing.
Also this is my small way of saying thanks to everyone else who has helped me save money by watching other videos and getting ideas to complete other projects.
Thank you for this video. After repairs a year ago I picked up my car and noticed it sounded really throaty and drove a bit different under acceleration. Didnt think much of it, during this past year it got a lot worse. I would have to start my car and let it warm up 8-10 mins and even then when you hit the pedal to speed up, it would get really throaty sounding and not really go anywhere, like it lost power when trying to accellerate. I then noticed the black drops coming from the tailpipe, letting me know it was running very rich. I suspected the MAF sensor and got the cleaner and did what you showed here, while I had the air filter out I noticed a previous mechanic popped out the air intake tube going into the air filter box, it was just dangling around and basically blocking / not allowing air into the air filter box. Removed the entire box and tube, reconnected it, duct taped it and put everything including the clean MAF sensor back in. Damn car started and ran like it did years ago. Both this video and your air filter box video were super easy to follow. A+
I'm trying to clean my mass sensor out. I have a 2015 cadillac cts and I see the red little push clip on the bottom and it can be pulled forward in the direction of the windshield or pushed backwards the other way towards the front bumper I guess to lock it. For some reason I'm having a trouble pulling the connector off without forcing it
You have a ratchet with a T15 ??? I couldn’t understand the next word. Is it shaped like a hex wrench or Philips head or do I need to buy one because it’s not a tool that the DIYSelfer has?
@@FixCarYourself That hose connected to the intake right there next to the MAF. The point where it connects to the air intake is a bit loose on mine. I don't know if thats supposed to be like that or not. Usually hoses shouldn't be loose at connections point but...

Thanks so much for the kind words. That's what I want is for people to save money and learn or at least understand how to repair something yourself.

Thanks so much! and nice to know of your experience. Glad you eventually took matters into your own hands to get this job done correctly.
Very helpful
Glad to hear that.

Did you get it off?
Yeah I did after a little while and I used the spray on it but I just decided to replace the sensor anyway just to be sure the problem was fixed
cool!

It should read “T15 Torque ????”
Do u know if that little hose coming out the side of the Air Intake is suppose to be a bit loose?
I'm not sure what you mean.

It shouldn't be loose. You could wrap a small piece of black electrical tape for a little more reinforcement.
