    Hi Everyone! If you're having acceleration issues while driving, or a shaky engine at idle, then chances are your MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow Sensor) could be dirty. Don't worry because once you clean it, your car will run like new again. I'll also show you how to clean your throttle body. This whole procedure will help with increasing MPG on the freeway and in the city. Now grab a pair of gloves and lets get started!

    Best video ever on MAF sensor and air deflector not only taking your time while explaining details not to mention the process removing and replacing the MAF is much better and different from several other videos I have watched IMHO. Thanks... And no one ever mentioned the pink dot LOL.

    Just wanted to say thank you. I was starting to experience a slight rough idle from time to time. Engage trouble shooting mode. Of course I came to your channel first. I first tried the MAF spray, and that did help, but didn't solve my problem. Step two was changing all the spark plugs as well as a new MAF sensor. I also added Liqui Moly Jectron fuel injection cleaner. That solved all my problems. Just needed to express my many thanks for your videos.

    @nv1493 Před 4 lety +5

    Nice work.
    You can also spray the sensor in place.
    I would suggest pulling the TB as well, a bit more work but you'll do a better job of cleaning plus be able to install a new base gasket.
    Also, if theres oil in the hose to the elbow that's indicative of a failing pcv separator. Replace the pcv separator assembly. You don't want oil coking inside the TB or inside the intake on the runner flaps.

    I assume if you just need to clean the MAF sensor you can just remove it and not the whole assembly to get to the throttle body? I mean just unclip the MAF from the electrical connector and bottom bracket leading to the throttle body?

    Can I remove the engine cover and spray the sensor? Also have you used seafoam? I was thinking about buying some and pouring it in the gas tank whenever I need to fill up again

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  Před 3 lety

      Hello Nick, Yes, if you're in a hurry you can just remove the engine cover and spray some MAF or Electronics parts cleaner on the sensor. Regarding Seafoam, I have never used Seafoam on a mercedes engine. I have used BG44K Platinum right before I started a 2,500 mile road trip in the Mercedes S500 and it ran great! For BG44k you just need to apply it to the fuel tank. One bottle treats a full tank. Hope this helps. Cheers!

    How often should I do this? How do I when I should clean it.

    • @GarageDynamics
      @GarageDynamics  Před 5 lety +2

      Hello Alexie Diaz! I recommend cleaning the MAF sensor every 10,000 miles and also when you change the air filters. Another way to tell if it's time to clean the MAF sensor is when the engine shakes a bit more than usual at idle. Keep in mind though that engine shake can be for a number of reasons, but sometimes cleaning the MAF sensor helps. Cheers!

    I wouldn't recommend pushing open the throttle it is very sensitive but the best method is to grab ahold of long enough stick that can fit from the seat of your car to push the pedal down to get a better cleaning of the throttle or if you have someone to do so would work best lol 👊😷👍

      Hello EdtheRaiderfan Cunningham, The top part of the MAF has a metal screen that is built into the MAF. It's also there to protect against damage to the MAF sensor. It is very delicate and just touching it with too much pressure can possibly damage it. I hope this helps. Cheers!

      +iris lopez Hi! Yes, You can spray your MAF sensor while its still connected to the throttle body (assuming you have removed your air box). I would just recommend that you hold off on starting the car for at least 10 minutes. That will give the cleaner a chance to evaporate, so that it doesn't get pulled into your engine.
