MAF cleaning with CarbCleaner
« on: 01 June 2012, 11:26:15 »

Had this mentioned in other topic but everything else except this has been answered  so I'm posting it as a single question.

MAF in large air filter pipe seems dirty and oily
Can I simply spray it with CarbCleaner to clean it?
Don't have any error codes but the grille inside the pipe is noticeably black
