Introducing the ORIGINAL
CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner.
Stop using aggressive chemicals to clean sensitive MAF sensors!
If you've got a dirty mass air flow sensor your car isn't driving to its full potential. Pollen, dust particles and soot can build up and burn onto MAF sensor hot-wires causing incorret measurements of air flow and mass. In most cases the air/fuel ratio will run rich with fuel resulting in sputtering, hard-starting, stalling, excess emissions, wasted fuel, power loss and even automatic transmission shifting problems.

Oil can also build up on the wires, especially from over-oiled reusable air filter. Oil travels directly from the air filter onto the MAF hot-wires causing faulty read-outs.

With no arternative many technicians and DIY'ers are using aggressive chemicals like brake, carburetor and air-intake cleaners to clean fragile MAF hot-wires and housings. These chemicals can cause serious and expensive damage to sensitive equipment, especially plastic.

Finally, the right product for the job! CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner safely and easily cleans the MAF hot-wires and electrical components without damage to the wires or plastic housing. The whole job should take less than 10 minutes!

  • It is not recommended to touch the sensor wires as they are extremely thin and sensitive. The CRC MAF cleaner does come out of the can with enough force to clean the wires enough to improve performance without swabbing. Swabbing the wires greatly increases the change of damaging the wires which would render the sensor useless and thus requiring a costly replacement.

  • Don't knock it till you try it.

    Also, try using spell check and a period every now and then in your sentences so everyone can make sense of your statements.

  • It does appear that he uses quite a bit in the vid doesn't it? No, you don't need to use quite that much chem. You should be able to get about 8 to 10 jobs out of one can of MAF sensor cleaner however, since the chemical is quick drying and plastic safe, it is safe to use as much as you see fit. In the video they switch angles and cameras making it look as if he is spraying non-stop but it is not necessary to spray that long.

  • is there any other alternative product that can be used to clean MAF despite of this CRC products, can Carlube be used?

  • @bonsongo

    Since the wire in the mass air flow sensor is so fragile and sensitive it is recommended that you use only a cleaner that is designed specifically for cleaning them. Also, many other cleaners are not plastic safe and may cause damage to the housing too. MetroSupply.

  • @metrosupply @metrosupply I have a plastic safe electrical contact cleaner which i believe is made by CRC, It leaves no residue and i don't think it's corrosive. Do you have any idea whether this product would be acceptable? I don't really want to buy another can as i am not a mechanic. cheers :)

  • @jcadlols

    Due to the fact that the CRC QD Electronic Cleaner being plastic safe it could be used to clean the sensor wire however, the CRC 05110 MAF Sensor Cleaner is designed specifically for this purpose and is more efficient at cleaning the sensor wire.

  • @listentothewhisper haha. thanks man

  • @bonsongo yep i got it at autozone too. $8 i think.

  • @Jo060 lol this comment flagged as spam? Why? Cuz he said this video was like a late night commercial (ie, kinda like spam). But THIS PERSON'S comment was not spam. I saw the same thing with the plastic--no bending it when the CRC product was sprayed. So nice comment @Jo060

  • @southbay281 Agree on the gloves, but they do recommend 10-15 good sprays of cleaner.

  • Cleaned my WRX MY06 MAF sensor wires. The nice thing is, you can just disconnect it, and remove two screws and whip it out as a small module. Takes 5 minutes. Uses a 2 hot-wire arrangement. Do not drop it or damage it, or you're looking at $250+ for the original part!

  • You should use gloves And shouldn't use that much crc

  • cleaned my 2001 ford taurus ses maf sensor with this today, worked amazing

    a lot smother start up and could tell a big difference when i took it for a drive

    you don't need to use as much as the guy in the video, just a couple sprays DO NOT try to wipe anything off in side by maf wires just spray and air dry for around 20 min to 30 min and your set so easy to do and such a big difference

  • After a $150 tune up to my 1999 GMC Jimmy didn't fix the start up hesitation and no power from a complete stop problem, I figured I would try this cleaner. OH MY GOD! I feel like I'm driving a new vehicle. No more hesitation and it will smoke the tires from a complete stop. I definitely recommend this product.
