MAF sensor cleaner: amzn.to/2qniu0A Screwdriver (will not strip screws!) amzn.to/2GLz2LT #ad

I love that you are quiet and focusing on the job.

I’m installing an takeda air intake and this hidden gem of a vid helped me to remove my air intake box. I watch all your videos as it has helped and motivated me to work on my civic. Thank you sir!!!!

These are very relaxing videos. I like how you can hear the texture of what you are doing. It helps a lot.

THANK YOU! I didn't know what was holding back the air box, so I gave up cleaning the MAF sensor in my car. Now I will be able to do it, tks to you!

I found it was easier for me to loosen the air filter box, pull it forward and then disconnect the connection to the MAF sensor. These videos you produce are gold, thanks.

Went to do this and discovered a crack in my air intake hose, went to another vid and fixed that. Cleaning the MAF sensor in the morning and installing my new fog lights in my EX-L 🤙🏼 tks brother

Outstanding tutorial MrRangerZr1 !! You have great skills both as a mechanic and as a teacher. Thank you.

Thank you for a very precise, concise and informational presentation.

No use only MAF sensor on MAFs.

That was a lot of work for that “booger”.

Great Video MrRanger! However, is there an alternative cleaning agent to use aside a MAF sensor cleaner? Can i use brake/parts cleaner instead since they clean and evaporate real well? Hope to hear from you. Thank you.

You plugged it in while it was still wet. Clear the codes and you should be good. Just disconnect the battery for 5 mins.

Excuse my ignorance,but what is that tool you use to unscrew the screws? a socket wrench? What kind(not size, like what is this long L shape called?)

That is the ratchet. The socket is the small part that connects to it. (the part that says 10mm, 12mm etc)

​@lionintu did you find out what the problem was?

I'm actually a little surprised on the amount of things that needed to be removed, usually working on the Civic is a breeze and requires 0 tedious work like putting hoses back. Cleaning the MAF was easier on my BMW than this but the civics doesn't seem too bad. I'm sure it could be worse

Its only these 2012-2015 Civics that are a PITA. The 2006-2011 are easy. Honda for some reason pushed back the airbox in the later models. The 2016+ civics are easy.

Couldn't you just unscrew the throttle intake hose running to the intake box and and pop the top off of the air filter box, instead of removing the whole air box?

No you can't. I tried. The top half of the filter box is hinged to the bottom. You have to take the whole thing out like in the video

Update: my air flow hose was torn just like a lot of other people, causing that above issue. I changed it, and I still cleaned theaf like in this video. Now I no longer get the hard jerking due to the rip, but get small suddel jerking. So I guess the MAF can't be fixed. I also cleaned out the throttle body like in the video linked here.

Had an issue after I installed a cold air intake to my 2015 Civic, water was getting sucked through the filter everytime it rained and I hydrolocked the car twice! Took that piece of shit cold air intake out then installed a short ram and realized my mass air flow sensor had gotten wet and was damaged. If you want to install an intake stick with the short ram intake so you don’t go through what I went through
