I'm called lazy and told I'm not doing something right, yet it works just fine for me and others.

I even said:

"I'm not saying using pipe cleaners is a bad idea, just that it's not needed"

Now you're telling me that I can't admit being wrong about something and that I'm kicking an idea out.


I don't know how to put this for you to understand. I'm sure you'll stay pissy about it no matter how I phrase it.

Spray cleaner works for MOST people. Pipe cleaners can be used but 99% of the time aren't needed.


There are often different ways to the same solution. Just because you do it differently, doesn't mean the other way, which happens to be just a bit simpler (which really makes me wonder where the lazy comments came from, since it takes only a minute more to use a pipe cleaner) is wrong.



For those interested, CRC now sells a spray specifically called MAF cleaner.


Or you can take apart the MAF and take a bubble bath with it, I heard that's the only non-lazy, right way to do it.



Blahh blahh blahh yadda yadda yadda..my big brown boot up you A$$
This thread was meant to show an alternate and perhaps better way to clean a MAF sensor. It wasn't meant to be a political discussion on the fine points of using a fuzzy pipe cleaner. I know this can be troubling to some ppl but you really need to understand the concepts behind this "how to". It's nothing personal and nothing that can really hurt your ego, it's just good info to digest and learn from.
