    Service Engine Soon

    My Service Engine Soon light comes on than after awhile it goes out, I had it checked out by a local garage and he said it was the Mass Air Flow Sencor doing it and if it buges me to much all I would have to do is to take the air intake tube behind the air lid apart and wipe the sencor with a mild cleanser.


    What does every body think I should do?

    Use some maf cleaner. Be careful, let it dry and do not touch the wire. I would take it off and then spray clean and let it dry.


    Do you use a K&N air filter? The oil can cause issues with the maf if they are too oily.

    Funny you asked, thats the main reason I got rid Of the K&N air filter years ago. I only use the paper air filters that you have to change once a year.

    MAF's still get dirty with paper filters too.

    I don't worry about it because I'm SD tune and no longer have a MAF.
