Best/Safest way of cleaning a Mass Airflow Sensor

Postby agent_orange » Mon Aug 17, 2020 8:03 pm

So I have been cleaning up the induction air cone and found that the Mass Air Flow meter has a gungey oil crap all over the front grill and possibly on the sensor itself.

Personally i would wipe down the plastic honeycomb first with a rag and some brake cleaner and wipe it all clean..i would use a spray can on the rest as it will break the crap down and blast it away...carb cleaner will do the same thing....
