What to get to clean MAF??

[Chris97K1500]

Since my Wester's will be coming in later next week I want to get everything cleaned and ready to go. One area that I'm not too sure about is how to clean my MAF. I hear about using some sort of electronics cleaner, but where can I get it? Radio Shack? What's the name of the cleaner? How to I use it once I get it? Just spray on and let dry? Thanks in advance. Chris

I just got part of the answer earlier today:

 

"Get some plastics safe electronic cleaner and spray the MAF clean...but don't wipe! "

 

Not sure where to get it though. Have you cleaned your Throttle body? Mone was wicked.

I know I've seen it at hardware stores and Auto Zone, Non residue electrical contact cleaner

Chris, I use CRC QD Electronic Cleaner. Just spray it on and let it dry. Leaves no residue, safe to use on most plastics. I got mine at my local auto parts store, I think Advance Auto parts stores carry it also.

I got a can from Radio Shack of "Precision Electronics Cleaner" 5.5 oz (small white can with a removeable brush on the nozzle), says it's safe on most plastics, and leaves no residue. Seemed to work great on my MAF when I cleaned it when I installed my FIPK yesterday. I think it's like $10 a bottle, but with what small amount it takes, it ought to last the life of the truck, especially if I only clean it every 15,000 miles or so.

 

I just sprayed it on liberally, front and back, and let it sit and dry for about 20 minutes while I installed the intake... Nothing to it!

Thanks, I appreciate the help! Chris
