What conclusion made you think to clean the MAF? Just general info... The best cleaner to use for the MAF is the Berryman B-12 Chemtool. But like he said, make sure it is dry first. If it is indeed dirty, you should see a black/grey color build-up on the post on the V6 MAF and the wire coils on the Zetec MAF. The Chemtool seems to get the parts cleaner and dries faster without a film. Hope that helps Rich '04 Ecotec Cavi 140hp/150tq Fabbed intake. Header Coming, DRL's disabled, X-Drilled/slotted rotors coming....Man you really are fast. You were hauling a$$ when I passed you RB&LB causing problems in Huntsville
