close-up super-slow-mo of cleaning spray. 10/10 would watch again.

Really good video and so much time taken to show the whole process. The slow motion bit was really interesting

This happens to so many Toyota cars because people have always been told: You buy a Toyota and the only thing you have to do is put gas and change the oil, and that is exactly what they do, then you have neglected maintenance like in this Camry

You are talking about me. My 2003 Tacoma 280,000 Miles has original coolant and brake fluid. All the belts are original too. I couldn’t get “CRC mass air flow sensor cleaner “ anywhere these days. No Walmart, AutoZone, nor O’Reilly. So I am using something else O’Reilly guy recommended “Lectra Clean 3000” even though the can says “ Not for Automotive use”.

Thank you for sharing. I have seen a few videos from others besides you previous videos. This is the BEST quality video and explanation of techniques. May you have a happy and prosperous New Year!

Just cleaned MAF on 99 Tacoma 2.7l- Worked great! Thank you for the pointers.

This is the best video I have watched on how to clean the MAF Sensor and I am going to try and clean mine ,will get clearer and I hope it solves my problem .Thanks you sir for your explanation and the video !

I just love your shows, I can just listen to your voice to be honest, it's very soothing

love the energy in this video! much appreciated

Excellent, detail explanation of the whole cleaning process. Great video !!!

Thanks for your video, I will be doing this in my 2001 sequoia 275k this weekend! Have a great 2020!

On my 2000 Corolla, this is easy to access an remove for cleaning. Use ONLY electronics cleaner spray ... NOT brake cleaner. The 2 small screws that hold the MAFS on are going into plastic, so be careful and loosen the screws to remove them with fingers and do NOT drop the screws. Set them aside safely for re-install. Do NOT forget the inside 2 wires to clean that are unseen inside the 'barrel' ! Clean them too ...and a MAF Sensor ic cheap to buy ... much like a PCV valve is cheap and easy to replace...

I'm a grown man, but I'm 100% comfortable saying your accent is adorable! Lol 😂 great video buddy!

Awesome thorough explanation & demonstration! This is very much appreciated. Thank you! 👍

I feel like I’m watching a cooking channel with your beautiful narration

Great Video, Thanks for the easy to do maintenance tip!

Thank you for an excellent video. Very valuable tip that engine will initially idle high after cleaning and once computer learns new information from sensor idle will drop down to normal.

Thank You.... The best explanation and video on this problem / fix that I have seen....👍👍

Thank you for the video. I saw another video where the guy used an small brush. Now I know better.

Great video showing how to clean the sensor so easily.

Thank you for this video in slow motion. I felt very comfortable following your steps.

I find a quick spray and let it sit for a few moments to soften up the deposits then a final spray to wash uses a lot less spray. I've never used a half can on a MAF myself.

I never try it and watching you video will help me 9:03 😊 9:03 9:03

Tnk u best explanations..im from South Africa

NOTE : Remove the O Ring before cleaning. The spray / chemical can cause the O ring to swell making the O ring very difficult to go back into the intake port. Use a small pick - carefully remove the O ring. Clean the MAF - dry and reinstall the O ring. Preferably wipe a thin layer of silicone grease on the O ring before re installation.

@@bebo5558 My statement is a generally good practice. When you work with as many different fluids and cleaners as I do - it's a general practice to remove o rings prior to prevent them from being damaged during cleaning.

The visible wire on the outside that you are showing is the intake air temp sensor bulb. The smaller wire on the inside of the tube is the MAF wire. That’s the one that’s hard to see and really needs the cleaning.

Great job, thanks.

Excellent video

Thank you for the tips.

What a great video. My mass airflow sensor went bad because a stinkin squirrel made a nest inside my engine compartment of my brand new Toyota 4Runner and shoot through the wiring harness leading to the mass air sensor. I drove the car for a little over a month with a bad sensor and that made my mixture bad and dirty the heck out of my sensor. I had to buy a new connector and rewire it myself which wasn't that big of a deal but it still didn't fix it until I clean the mass air sensor. Just a note that you can have for yourself and give to your subscribers is how to keep squirrels out of your engine compartment. Buy some peppermint essential oil and put it in a spray bottle with water about 40 drops per 16 oz of water or a liter maybe is what you call it. Spray it all around your engine compartment and the squirrels will stay away. It works very well but you can't drive your car for about 10 minutes until that oil dries because your engine doesn't like burning peppermint oil

Outstanding job, as always. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts about different Toyota models and engines. Which ones perform better, reliability, ease of maintenance, etc. I've had a tundra for 19 years. Still runs good, but I'm not looking forward to replacing the starter if it ever goes bad.

Is it good to use Electric contact cleaner spray too cz i cannot find mafs cleaner spray in my city.

My 2000 2.7 4runner was stalling when slowing down. I did the throttle body cleaning as well as MAF cleaning. Still stalls at red lights. Any idea? I'm going to clean MAF again, how long do you wait before reinstall?

Ha! I LOLed at the part where he showed the dirty and clean side - mine looks *exactly* like that. Off to clean it, hope that fixes the P0174 error code . . .

I've seen alot of these being sadly thrown away due to oil contamination on the electrical contacts. (code 24, 31). 🤦‍♂️. Good idea to clean them too incl. harness connector.

Could this be why i may have P0171? I took out MAF and it is dirty. Should i buy the cleaner n give it a try??

I'm driving my sister's 2005 V6 Camry right now, and earlier got a check engine light with code P0174. Didn't hear any hissing, and car wasn't experiencing any sputtering or anything, so I pulled out the MAF Sensor, and sure as shit, it looked EXACTLY like the one in the video. Went to the auto parts store, bought a can of CRC for $11, and in 10 minutes, it was good as new!

Can the MAF of the 2013 Chevy Impala LT be cleaned like this? It looks different.

I have a 02 Sequoia. Code came up for Mass airflow sensor . I cleaned it. Cleared code but code comes back. I replaced it and cleared code. Code still there. Dissconnected battery. Waiting 10 min. Trying to see if this will clear it.

i always use a cotton bud passing lightly after spraying just to make sure everything is out

Does the o ring need to be lubricated or the housing lubricated to prevent dust or the sensor sticking

Wondering how this turned out. I have an 06 Lexus GX470 and as picky as these vehicles are I’m concerned about cleaning the MAF.

In my area MAF sensors for 4Runner 1988 3.0 liter 3VZE engine are not available, even remanufactured ones. The cheap Chinese ones are apparently quite useless. Is there a good reputable competent source for remanufactured or Denso equivalent MAFs for this application? Please advise. Several people may have need for these. Otherwise cars will be undrivable.
