Your thousand pictures speak trillions of words. Thanks! My 2015 Accord J35 has a similar looking MAF, and I was shocked by its appearance. Seeing you clean yours gave me confidence that it's OK to spray it. I'm also going to see if my DX8 scan tool can manually open the throttle. Dang that Civic is cramped living quarters. Update: The scan tool doesn't manually operate the throttle position. it just checks or calibrates. It's much simpler to just put a brick on the gas pedal. After cleaning throttle and MAF and recalibrating, I can't even feel the engine idle. My car has 130K on it. Thanks again!

thanks for this.👍👍 really hate how honda made the 9th gen so difficult to clean that part, but the other generations much easier to access. the big flexible hose in the back gets brittle and can crack with removing the air filter housing, i see yours patched up there too.
Yes. I agree. I replaced mine. That video is published today. I recommend to get a new air intake hose for $10 just in case. If it cracks you will get code P0171 (mix too lean).

@@ryan.ulrich No. don’t do that. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this. I am regularly fixing things around the house and adding videos about it.
I know. This is a 2014 EX. I have another 2017 and 2020 and they are a piece of cake. This air box is way in and you can’t pull the MAF upwards if you don’t remove the air box.
@@bindig1 I know. I have a 10th gen civic and a Odyssey and the MAF is super easy to clean. What were they thinking on the 9th gen? 🙏 Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks.

Hahah you dont gotta unplug the battery to do this bro.. there is a huge misconception on cars that when you do electrical shit you gotta unplug the battery its absolutely false. As long as the key is out of ignition, car is not on, you’re good.
You are right. I remembered I disconnected the battery because in this job I was also cleaning the throttle body, which makes sense if you are going to bother on removing the air box.

Is that silicone paste needed ? Or could I still re install it without it?

Can I use contact cleaner instead?
Would you spray the MAF cleaner into the wire harness for this as well?
@@ryan.ulrich No. don’t do that.

Damn the 2012 si you just remove two small screws 😂 thats crazy what year is this one

Why would the engineers design it like that? So difficult to get to. Just like the starter. Love Hondas but they can be a PITA to maintain sometimes

Thats a terrible setup for a MAF wow i only had to remove to clamps easy .
Cleaning a MAF on a 10th generation or my Odyssey is a lot easier. No need to remove the air box.
What car are you talking about that is easy?
