MAF Sensor

[Explor2Exped]

So I'm trying to take off my Mass Air Flow sensor to clean it with MAF Spray by CNC.

I can't take out the screws to save my life. My neighbor put some oil lubricants on the screws to losen them up. He even hit a screwdriver with a hammer & that wouldn't do it.

How do I remove these screws?

thats the TPS not your MAF, your MAF is right behind your air filter.

Awwww sheit!!! Seriously!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!????

Where exactly is the MAF sensor?

It's right inside on the opposite the side of the air filter.

Just figured that out. I've been tearing apart the engine & throttle body going after the wrong thing all day..

haha. rookie mistakes! yeah thats not it. the maf is super easy to clean. you take out the air filter and take a screw driver and pull it out. clean it. let it sit a few minutes and put it back in. but while your at it do the tps mod.

I would but the screw on the bottom is damn near impossible.

I lubed it up with different things & sprayed liquid wrench on it & still wont budge.

I'm not going to mess with it anymore because it's almost stripped.

you dont even have to take the MAF out... just remove the air box and spray the MAF with cleaner... just dont touch it and be gentle so you don't break the little wire... otherwise you will need a new MAF
