Very detailed and perfect presentation Sir! My question is how often should I clean MAF Sensor? Maybe every time I do oil change? How many minutes should I wait for MAF Sensor dry? Hope you read this message! Thank you Sir!
Are you really supposed to inject cleaner inside the housing. I was always told properly just spray the sensors not inside the cartridge it short out the whole sensor unit. So note that the sensor is straight down never spray inside the cartridge of the sensor unit just the sensor on both sides not far not close but safe distance when spraying sensor always remember to keep the downside of the sensor down spraying the Sensor unit. Thanks Paul that was very instructional very educational.
My sisters Nissan Sentra dash light came on, in this case, I think it's called "service engine soon". So, she goes to one of the biggest names in auto repair and here is the bill, around 1,300 dollars. What's wrong? Well, the Mass Air Flow sensor code came up (100 dollars to throw the scanner on a car, when it's free at the auto parts store). Also noted, missing "clip" on air filter box, so, box won't close. The rest were minor things like air, oil, cabin filter and wipers. So, they tell her, 332 dollars for the Mass Air Flow Sensor AND 96.50 to install it. By the way, Nissan charges about 100 dollars LESS than that AND aftermarket ones are about 200 less. What's the solution to the missing clip? You got it, a NEW AIR CLEANER BOX!! 600 dollars plus 70 to install it. She is stunned and calls me, I see the estimate and say B/S. So, I take out the Mass Air Flow Sensor and clean it, it takes about 1 minute to remove it and put it back. Don't know where they get off charging 96 dollars for that install. I change the filters, and find nothing wrong with the air box. 6 dollars at Nissan and I have a new clip. 600 dollars saved (I would have found a aftermarket for much less). I reset the codes and fire up. I still got a code for the Mass Air Flow Sensor. So, is it ACTUALLY BAD? Do I NEED to buy a new one (but not the 332 dollar one)? I took another look and what did the shop miss (or worse yet, created)? A large tear in the hose that goes from air box to throttle body. Nissan wanted around 90, I decided to try a 18 dollar aftermarket, put it on, turned on car, and NO MORE ENGINE LIGHT. So, if that Sensor still has codes throwing, check for air leaks before you toss it. And find a more honest repair shop.
I would add that the rubber o-ring be removed first, I experienced rubber warping with the MAF cleaner. Then clean inside first then outside wire. Lube the o ring a bit before reinstalling so it won't dry out.
I used Carb Spray Cleaner to clean my MAF. Helped as far as I can tell. I'll be on the look out for this specific product however and clean it again when I find it.
Thanks Paul, I'm having issues like poor revving, lost of torque, hesitation, no power, very low gas mileage, can't reach over 3000rpm, etc. I already changed the filters, spark plugs and even that idle regulator which was expensive. Only thing left is MAF, so thanks on your video, gonna clean it like you suggested and than try it. It's a Ford Fiesta 1.3i Endura engine.
Electrical contact cleaner will work fine too, but great tips on cleaning the mass air flow sensor. But still important message that Petrol, WD40 (except WD40 electrical contact cleaner) and any water based solution will NOT work! And very good tips on not touching the contacts directly! And great point that it needs to be done EVERY time the air filter is changed! Remember using wrong solution or touching directly can damage the sensor, so DON'T do it!
Hey, I used isopropyl alcohol which doesn't leave any residue and it worked just fine. It was really dirty too. With 111000mi I don't think it was ever cleaned. I've only had it for the last 18000mi.
Yeah but was it compressed? Did you use a rag or a q-tip dipped in that alcohol and rub the wires? I'm not saying alcohol is not a descent substitute but your comment is lacking a lot of details that depending on how they're answered can totally discredit your claims that isopropyl alcohol is a viable substitute.
Just get the recommended stuff instead of cheaping out with what you have on the shelf. A can of mass air flow sensor cleaner costs about 6 bucks. All these people using alcohol or brake cleaner or carb cleaner, are hacks
This is a very good video, delivered clearly, with all the warnings that I humbly believe should be heeded. I'd never think of touching part of the sensors themselves. My father was the only person I've ever seen "mechanically" clean one. He used to take anew scalpul out and lightly run it up and down the wire with the touch of brain surgeon. for the rest of us mere mortals, we should stick to the spray, heh heh. God bless man!
I would add to keep the MAF upright at all times when spraying, the puddle on the floor will stain so down with some card. No need to go point blank with the spray, it's solvent. Extra care not to drop it, easily damaged through shock. Eye protection and gloves. If you have hands you can do this job.
actualy if you clean any oil sludge in the engine vent side of the air cleaner that also makes the engine breathe better. btter to just clean the whole plastic assembly that goes from the air cleaner side and the throttle body side. remove the whole thing and wash it out as well as clean the MAF sensor.
Outside the USA may be difficult to find MAF cleaner. But you can use good quality electric contact cleaner. Many report success. Of course, do at own risk.
I wish all how to videos were as concise and to the point and "flufless" as yours. I've got a question I hope you would be willing to answer. Just put on a new mass air flow sensor. Runs totally better except... *Engine slightly trembles in high gear going up a hill at lower RPMs. *While idling, the tach will pulse between 600 and 900 RPMs. (I drove this quite a while before I placed the sensor.) Could my plugs be fouled or does the computer take a day or two to recalculate everything. Or might I have some other sensors that need replacing? (2000 S-Type V-6) Thanks for any help you can give me, Neil
One of the better presentations about simple car component cleaning. Good job Paul! As much as I don't want to, I'll have to purchase either a ZEP brand mass air flow sensor cleaner or a CRC brand mass air flow sensor cleaner. Are there any less expensive MAF sensor cleaners available?
Hey.gd piece of advise dude..i have a 1989 sentra ex wagon...its a caburretor..that the engine has...and i dont kno where is the mass air flow sensor located...do you.know if this make/model.came with this..plz help
Greetings from Aden/South Arabia, question to be raised do we have to disconnect the Bettery Negative Terminal prior of MAF Sensor cleaning ,many thanks nice and interesting information.
i hava atoyota yaris but its not as easy to access the maf as easily as it is on your car there is too much stuff in the way but i will still attempt it at some point.
You can use isopropyl alcohol. Drip a few drops on the 2 wires hidden right inside. The stubborn carbon deposits just won't come loose. Use a pin to glide over the wires to dislodge the carbon. The wires are tough enough and its not like spider web fragile. When you are done, you will see 2 shiny wires with something cylindrical in the wire's center. I put back everything and it works like new and awesome acceleration. Idle is at 750 rpm and absence of rpm surging or engine dying off. CRC spray for MAF is just overpriced. Just don't use cotton buds or something that will leave traces on the wires which gets heated up and it will burn if something is stuck there
Great advice .I agree spay company would like a monopoly on what they use that they try to keep mysterious.Was wondering though if meths would be ok as pure Alkahol cannot find at this moment ?
@@zeez9053 Methanol? So long it does not leave any residue, its fine. The 2 wires gets very hot during operation . Impurities on it will support combustion and contaminate the wires

What causes the engine to vibrate when the rpm is installed at 1500 rpm in a 2009 Sonata while parking, although I have checked it with the devices many times and I have not found a solution and sometimes it has double torque while driving.. Almost at a speed of 80 km

I own a 2017 chevy cruze and the check engine came on a couple of weeks ago. Had it checked and is the mass sensor code. The light goes on/off every now and then. Today I cleaned it with that same cleaner when the check engine light wasn't on, but after I placed the sensor back and started my car, the check engine came on. Also, I read that if you disconnect the harness from the sensor while the car on, it should shut off meaning the sensor is good and if it doesn't then the sensor is bad...my car didn't go off. So, time for a new sensor?
I honestly really do think it does affect your fuel consumption my car start drinking gas bad i was thinking this is not right i knew something was going wrong but didnt know what a month later my check light came on mass air flow meter had stopped working i replaced it my car went straight back to its normal consumption i think it really does pay to service them .
Hey Iris not sure if you had this issue sorted yet but you do not have to disconnect the battery to remove the MAF sensor - the sensor is not functional when your vehicle is switched off and there is no risk of electrocution or damaging the sensor with the car switched off.

You're very welcome!
You can also use electrical contact cleaner. Which completely evaporates.
Thanks as I have a bottle of WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner for electrical parts!
It also leaves no residue and cheaper.

Nothing cheaper that I know of. Remember, you usually get what you pay for.
Use break cleaner it's cheaper and evaporates even faster. Well it's 2,28€ in my local car parts store.
@@Archer28M BAD idea. That will leave residue! Spend the 10 bucks and do it right!

Just cleaned my MAF sensor, and checked the Short Term Fuel Trim on Torque app, it looks on the happier negative fuel trim side. No more over 10%.

Hi paul, do we use this to clean the MAP manifold absolute pressure sensor? Or a fast drying electrical contact cleaner is better? Thanks

ECU reset once complete?
I own a 2017 chevy cruze and the check engine came on a couple of weeks ago. Had it checked and is the mass sensor code. The light goes on/off every now and then. Today I cleaned it with that same cleaner when the check engine light wasn't on, but after I placed the sensor back and started my car, the check engine came on.
Also, I read that if you disconnect the harness from the sensor while the car on, it should shut off meaning the sensor is good and if it doesn't then the sensor is bad...my car didn't go off. So, time for a new sensor?
There is no other sign/symptom added to the check engine light coming on/off. Any idea?
Something else can be causing the MAF to misbehave.
I honestly really do think it does affect your fuel consumption my car start drinking gas bad i was thinking this is not right i knew something was going wrong but didnt know what a month later my check light came on mass air flow meter had stopped working i replaced it my car went straight back to its normal consumption i think it really does pay to service them .

You need to calm down and stop yelling at me 😥 I'm sensitive 😂
Yes like he says, it dries almost instantly. You don’t have to wait 2 -3 hours like some other TH-camr stated.
Hi, Is it safe to used contact cleaner for mass air flow sensor? Thanks
Yes, it's basically the same stuff,
Do you mean electrical contact cleaner?
So you don’t clean the connector piece itself? Just the sensor?
How long should you let it dry before putting it back in?
Five minutes if you use the stuff that I showed in this video.
I clean my maf every thousand kms! Even less. Same with air filter! No rain and so much dust in the air.
Nice right to the point video! Thanks!
👍😊
Do i have to disconnect the battery before removing the MAF sensor?
Hey Iris not sure if you had this issue sorted yet but you do not have to disconnect the battery to remove the MAF sensor - the sensor is not functional when your vehicle is switched off and there is no risk of electrocution or damaging the sensor with the car switched off.
His face relaxes me...seriously reassuring
Will break cleaner work as it doesn't leave residue ?
No definitely not brake cleaner. Never use that on electrical or plastic parts.
Is carburettor cleaner ok?
