      No, bc it will leave a layer for better electric contact , but we don't want that on the sensor, if you use mass airflow sensor, it won't leave any residue on the sensor, so it will give u accurate reading

      Could be this if you haven't changed your air filter in a while , they tend to get backed up with dirt and debris , making the engine think it's not getting any air flow, so try that. Also check purge valve , they tend to go bad aswell causing the engine to stall, making it think it's not getting enough fuel to the engine

      It is recommended that you use ONLY mass air flow sensor cleaner. All of the other cleaners are either too harsh or they leave behind a residue when they dry which will actually throw the reading of the sensor off and mess up your fuel trims making your vehicle run poorly.
