    I cleaned the sensor next to the kitchen sink.
    I used mass airflow cleaner and left the component on the drainer.
    My daughter,later, came into the kitchen, saw the component and thought it was a dirty part of a food mixer.
    She put the sensor into the automatic dish washer.
    The next morning I found it, double cleaned, I wasn't very happy, but put it back into the car.
    It worked well.
    Never leave anything around with other people in the house.

    Screws on Toyota cars that are made by Toyota do not use Phillips screws , they use JIS standed screws and need JIS screwdrivers to undo and tighten them or you risk damaging the screw head , if you do not have a JIS screwdriver use the the one provided in the toolkit in the boot of the car .

    You keep pointing to the wire with the bulb on the top of it. That wire is not the MAF sensor it's the IAT. ALSO spraying carb cleaner on a MAF will melt the plastic cover on the wires and resistors - TERRIBLE VIDEO

    Good video, very educating. Problem of taking the sensor off the connector, strength of fingers do not work. Use a rubber hammer and small straight screwdriver to chip it off, very softly. Once it was off, replacing by a new unit would be very easy.

    I have a 2000 Toyota Camry. I just got it. It drove beautiful when I 1st got it 6 days ago. The motor was so quiet you couldn't even hear it running. Now, 3 days ago it started shaking real bad, staling, making a pinging noise, and the breaks are stiff. It's had to push them down. The oil and tran fluid look great and are full. I'm going to clean the sensor today and change spark plugs. It's not over hearing either. What do you think could be the problem? Also, put a new battery last night. Thank you in advance😊

    Advice: some people say if you disconnect the MAF sensor and the car dies, that means the sensor is good. This is not true. I spent few hundred bucks until a good mechanic told me it is untrue. It turned out I needed a mag sensor which I bought on eBay for less than $15.

    NEVER CLEAN THE MASS AIR FILTER THIS WAY! Clean with CRC Mass Air Flow Cleaner, any other cleaner will leave a residue and destroy the sensor. The sensor is very sensitive they cannot be touched in any way. Just replace it if it is that bad, you will replace it any way if you clean this way.

    This guy is right use mass air flow sensor cleaner only if you can get it. If you can get that you won't need to brush at all. If you can't get it carburetor cleaner will work but you want to let that sensor dry for at least 30 to 45 minutes before reinstalling it. Carburetor cleaner will leave a small residue on your sensor but it still should fix your problem. Spend a $10 on a can of mass air flow cleaner period and don't brush it

    @laok8021 Місяць тому

    It’s a Toyota. Use a #1 JIS screwdriver on the two JIS screws; not a Phillips. You are using a #2 Phillips - a good way to round-out and ruin the screws. Phillips screwdrivers do not sit deep enough in a JIS + screw.
    Look for a screwdriver to JIS B 4633 standard.

  • @ralphpearson5420

    Never use carburetor cleaner or throttlebody cleaner on a mass airflow sensor. It’s not worth the risk. Two completely different components with completely different cleaning needs. Very expensive part to try and see five bucks on a can of intended cleaner.

    look at the ingredients for MAF sensor cleaner and it is nearly the same as Carb cleaner. In fact, there is also hexane + Petrol in CRC MAF cleaner which is meant to be aggressive. You can use, de natured alcohol, electrical contact cleaner, carb cleaner (some are aggressive apparently) or isopropyl alcohol.

    Hello Peter, I might try that, what could be the issue if my camry 2001, 4 cylinder lags in acceralation, the RPM needle goes to number 3 rev when it goes into the next speed, and the sound it makes is like a stuck sound like if it has air stuck, like a mini-boom sound and the sound comes from under the fuses around the right corner of the air filter, what's your take? I'm thinking probably the throttle fuse? Anyways, thanks!

    I got a lovely Alfa Romeo156 1999
    selespeed 2.0 lit, 16V T.Spark
    The problem I'm facing is: The engine starts immediately once it is cold or hot, While it is running,
    The RPM drops to 500 and the sprayer icon "lights on" in the dashboard, then the accelerator and gear do not activate.
    To overcome that stage; I should switch the "engine OFF" and start it again,
    then The accelerator and gear work perfectly, It happens also when I reduce the speed when there is humps or bad traffic.
    I changed the ECU, but it remains the same problem.
