I also use that CRC product. Like the post says, the idle does seems smoother.

 

How often do you guys clean your MAF?

 

Go to autozone or checkers and pick the a maf cleaning spray. I have one and it works perfect

 

Clean mine every oil change. Gives me something to do while the oils draining

Oh and agreed. I only use the Mass Airflow cleaner from CRC

 

On this link it sys not to use on Mitsus:

So safe or not?

 

the CRC stuff is not supposed to be used on Karmen Vortex sensors like the ones found in our cars... it says so right on the bottle. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

 

subscribed for info...

 

Good find... now I am nervous. Somebody know ?

 

Used for over 130k as have countless others can't see any downside unless you stick the nozzle in there and break the little resistor wire

You'd have to be about an idiot to do that. Wonder what their reasoning is?? Likely a CYA thing if someone breaks the little wire

 

^^^What he said...

 

i cleaned mine with he special one just for maf and started to work again

 

I don't know what their reasoning is for not recommending it on KV equiped vehicles, but I do know they are a local company (to me) and they do all their vehicle testing at the shop I go to (RT/Tuning). I've seem them at work (back to back testing on cars) and know the dyno results they report on the can are real gains they've measured on the dyno. To me that gives them creditability. So I have to believe if they say not to use in on our cars there is a reason behind it.

I don't care what anyone else does to their cars, or how many times they've used it, but if the manufacture specifically says NOT to use in on a certain vehicle I'm going to listen to them.

 

^what do you use/recommend to clean the maf then?

 

CRC Maf Cleaner .

I am going to try to send an email to the company within the next couple of days to get their reasoning behind no using it on a KV Maf equipped car.

My guess is it has absolutely nothing to do with the chemicals in the can and more to do with covering their *** if you hold the can up to the little resistor wire and blow it clean out the other side

 

Yea go with the crc cleaner.
