My 2008 Scion XB was running extremely poor. 300,000 miles on it. Changed Ignition coils, Spark plugs and cleaned MAF sensor using rubbing alcohol. IT WORKED. One point to make. Disconnected the battery so the MAF and its computer etc... sync up after it all put back together. GOOD luck and GOD bless. JC
Thank you!! Dealership wanted to charge me $71 for this. Took less than 5 minutes to DIY using your video.
Stay away from the Stealership!
Thank you for this teaching. I had slow start took a few seconds and sometimes longer. Then it didn’t start at all, After changing oil it started but still slow. I checked this sensor and also put oil on o ring and tightened screws well. It’s starting quickly now. Hopefully remains like this. Thank you so much. From Northern Ireland.
How it’s been?
Thanks Paul for sharing, you prove the the saying "there is no such thing as free lunch" wrong, for Christian we can have a free sharing. I am not a rich man that is why as much as possible I do my own fix if I can. Have a blessed Christmas Rick
I followed these instructions and it worked as advertised! Wow, I'm amazed. THANK YOU!!
Mitchell Weers Sr 👍😊
Thank you so much.! You saved my sister and I from being stranded in Indianapolis on our way home to Iowa for New York.! :) peace and love.!
GoAustin 👍😊
Thank you so much!! Instructions were easy to follow...did this myself after watching the video. Removed the part to check it first, then used the MAF cleaner mentioned, and put the part back in.... no issues. Took my van for a test drive right after and now the stop/starts are so much smoother than they were prior. Cost was only $9 as I had to buy the MAF cleaner. :)
USED MASS AIR FLOW CLEANER ON A 1999 MERCURY AND GUESS WHAT; NO HESITATION ON ACCELERATION . RUNS SMOOTH NOW& GOT PASSING GEAR BACK WITHOUT DYING ON ACCELERATION
FRANK TORCHIA did it look dirty ?the fine wires inside the sensor?
Well, my Impala was barely trying to start and really sounded like it didn't want to be bothered. Well, I took ur advice and It Sprung to Life ! Wow! You were spot on and I sincerely want to thank you.👍
So this helps with start up/crank issues too?
Thanks for the video. My Corrola has 219000 miles on it and yesterday it would start but would not stay running unless I kept my foot on the accelerater. A 9 dollar can of mass airflow cleaner and following the steps of your video fixed the problem. Bless You.😊😁🇺🇸
Kent Smith 👍😊
Also clean your throttle body. You might got lucky with cleaning the maf
i went and bought the mass airflow cleaning stuff and cleand my massairflow sensor and it worked beautifully for real it works
Where did you buy yours?
whats was wrong with your xsr

Great Video Paul! Very Detailed! Thanks
Followed this process- Saved me about a hundred+ dollars. Many thanks!
Doug Smith You’re very welcome!
I am very skeptical when it comes to cheap fixes. I've, had two Toyota Camry's in the past, both being 6 Cylinder models. I'm very familiar with this acceleration issue as mine's did the same and other V6's I've test drove. Skeptical but willingly to give it a try, IT WORKED immediately! how something so small can make a huge problem. Thanks for sharing because I'm sure I would have paid a lot going to a auto shop. total out-of-pocket was $3 and change, best money I've spent and a long time
👍😊
2005 Camry se v6. Tried it. Reduced the hesitation but didn’t completely eliminate it.
Interesant video thanks so much GOD bless you 🙏😇
Just had this problem on my Escape V6, fixed it by changing 2 faulty ignition coils and all the 6 spark plugs, on top of that they also cleaned the MAF sensor and flushed out the air intake system. Now the car runs very well. Thanks for the video Saul :)
My check engine light came on in April. I had my spark plugs and ignition coils changed, but the car still wasn’t accelerating smoothly like it was before I had the work done. I took it back and the spark plug wires were changed. Since then, I’ve had my wheels aligned and my 50K mile maintenance service which included an oil change, break fluid, and transmission fluid. Car still isn’t accelerating smoothly. I have taken the car into different shops AT LEAST five times and they’re telling me nothings wrong. I’m so tired.
So what was the problem? Ignition coil or spark plugs or maf sensor?
@@kenantv7487 Donno, the problem kept coming back, I ended up selling the damn thing for 500 bucks to a Ford mechanic. Even now he struggles to keep it roadworthy. Buy a Japanese car.
I have a 2010 honda stream rsz 1.8 liter engine cars run good on flat but when going over hill it just dies down about to shut off no engine check light what might be my problem
Same here with my Honda Civic?? PLEASE Help thanks in advance 😊
Thank you . I fixed My accelerator problem i only do the steps in the VIDEO. a million thanks again
Robertho Jean Louis 👍😊
your the best, worked great, made a huge difference, buy this man a beer, or a soda maybe a glass of ice water. what ever he wants. Thanks
You're not your
Mass airflow sensor is basically a very tiny electrical resistance. The way how is measuring the air, is pretty ingenious.
Basically ECU sends electricity through that tiny wire. Depending on the quantity of air, the wire will cool down, or heat up, thus increasing or decreasing its resistance. Therefore you measure the resistance and you get the amount of air. Absolutely ingenious.
Therefore everything that affect its resistance, even a single dust particle, will send wrong data to ECU and this will result in abnormal engine operation.
@@clintfipps7312 Yes, if its severily dirty.
SWEET! Gonna try this first... automatic 2012 Camry, sluggish at 2nd gear. So easy, hope it's a fix, thank you!!
I usually let mine dry for a half hour before reinstalling. I also spray down inside the housing. I think there is another wire in there. 2006 Toyota Matrix 4WD. You can also use an app like Torque with a Bluetooth OBD2 reader (mine has an on/off switch-I just leave it plugged in and off unless I'm using it) to make a note of airflow at idle after cleaning sensor. This will help you determine when to clean sensor.
This is not true you can take off the mass flow sensor wiring harness and your car will still start.
Idiot
Great video, thanks!
I'm going to give this a try, thanks!
I have the sme sensor in my Toyota at idl it was reving up and down i cleaned it and it works perfect now . Use a plenty of the cleanor for best results
indeed a simple fix for a big problem...and it works too.......
Not done yet! That part that you sprayed is the temperature sensor, there are two resistors (for air flow detection) down inside the hollow tube that also need to be cleaned.
Thnx, how can the two resistors be cleaned? One only have to just spray it all over, or what?
Yes, just spray down inside the tube. Don't try to push anything down there to clean them, you might damage the resistors.
Thanks for special information god bless you sir
Thanks buddy you made my day.
Thanks for sharing now I know how to clean it, on my car.
Note: Before cleaning the MAF sensor, please do replace your Dirty Air Filter to prevent the MAF sensor from getting dirty again.
There's no point in cleaning a MAF sensor without changing an Air Filter.
Will do!
you clutch for this
..."No point cleaning your MAF without changing your air filter" cause it'll just get dirty again?...do u wipe your ass after taking a shit? Why? It's just gonna get shifty again! ..??
Yup, I forgot. Thx
I changed the air filter some months ago n when this problem occurred, i wanted to check n I checked but it was sooo clean like brand new. Idk if i put it wrongly but it seems correctly. Idk why it didn’t get dirty.
Did this but had to get a special short screwdriver and someone to pull the plug out. Thank you it worked got the warning lights off but then went on again. I guess I'll have to wait 50 miles and hope there is no other issue.
How'd it go?
Thank you so so much. Solved the problem immediately.
june7675 👍😊
No too long ago my car just started stalling out on take off, would have to hold the gas down a bit at stop lights to keep it goin. Pulled the MAF sensor and inside was a tiny spider that was dead hanging on one of the wires. Got it off and car ran like new again.
David Clawson 👍
They're really that sensitive. Wow. Trying a couple of recommends tomorrow. Great vid
Thank you for this video
Very very informative and nice video
2001 mercedes C180 just got fixed thanks to your video. I did use brake cleaner because that is all i had at home. but it works better now. I did not clean it thoroughly though so I still have occasional sputtering. planning to just replace the MAF. I was worried that the brake cleaner would damage the MAF but it did not
I'm sure once you replace it your performance will improve dramatically.
proclaimliberty2000 didn't the can say not to use it on Toyota's? I know because I thought of using this once on my 06 v8 Tundra but I got discouraged as soon as I read "DO NOT USE ON LEXUS OR TOYOTA ENGINE'S" I use to work at AutoZone n a mechanic gave me advice n said to just replace it with an oem one from Toyota so how's it holding up for ya?
My can doesn't say that and there have been no problems.
I bought a new one; i also replaced the fuel pump and it's running lovely now
proclaimliberty2000 what car is this you are working on ?????
I am hoping this works on my Altima! Thanks for the info
Did it work cuz I got the same thing on my fuckin Altima
We appreciate this video💌
Awesome, thank you
I owe you a huge debt of gratitude. To think I was going to spend $300 on a Speed Booster. My 2015 Lancer fet totally sluggish despite synthetic oil and great gas. I cleaned my sensor and my pick up totally increased. Thank you very much for your video!
You're very welcome!

czcams.com/video/YnckaCCJEEk/video.html
thank you Great Job
Thank you I hope this works
Man I hope this is the issue just bought a 2014 Silverado and I love it but I accelerate and It jerks im gonna do this before I take it to the dealer hope it works out man ty for the vid man
Update?
The best video millions X thanks💞
Thanks for the video.
And I'm not a pro but what you point out and spray with the cleaner looks to me quite a lot like a ptc or something for temperature sensing. The really thin wire that measures the oxygen flow should be in that bigger window.
It still got a good amount of the cleaner but yeah just saying.
Otherwise keep it up :)
Thanks for ur video sir, is helpful this what I need.
This was very helpful for my Maruti Suzuki swift dzire as maf sensor was same!
Sir,I owe wagonr amt ,where is maf/map in there,please help
Helped a lot thank you so much
Perfect! ! worked on 2011 BMW.
Hi guys, I used brake cleaner for mass air flow sensor and it did the job just fine. The engine is more responsive now.
mistake and wrong. the brake cleaner leaves a residue. MAFS cleaner is the same as electronics cleaner... NO residue. SEE?
Thanks for this video sir,Berry good
Abraham Arreola 👍😊
This guy rocks.
great video
I would of loved seeing the issue before and after
I will have to try this since my 1992 Honda accord has been getting worse with stalling when I stop and severe surging on acceleration.
It sounds like you also need to perform this. czcams.com/video/cOAYWVBfuek/video.html
I know exactly what he's talking about I got a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan that has this issue. It basically has trouble catching up to itself so is a tad jerky off the start. I feel like if I were to clean that censer it would no longer have that problem.
Mass Airflow Sensor cleaner is the same stuff as CRC Electronics cleaner. They both evaporate quickly and leave behind no residues, without being too harsh on sensors.
From Starlight To Sunrise is it isopropyl alcohol?
Bingo!
Thank u for sharing
my 2013 model Hundai Tucson SUV has started to develope this hesitation at the early morning hours, it does not have enough power at the start of the engine and when I press the gas pedal too much during that stage, I hear some knocking at the exhaust. Also, it does not have the power like it used to have when climbing elevated road. surely appreciate your response. thank you sir...
My 87 runs really good but it has a constant intermittent hesitation as if it hiccups, has good pick up speed and with air on, sitting at a light sometimes it will stall, but starts right back up, I did all the cleaning stuff like you all say on here, and can't wait to see if it works, but this car has issues, one thing quits working and you fix it then another thing quits ?? I get a lot of compliments,(nice car) but again its black and new convertible black top, and new tires its a nice driving car till this problem, And I've been working on cars with my father since I was 8 yrs old and I am 60, just want to drive and enjoy life.
It sounds like it might be a dirty throttle body. czcams.com/video/cOAYWVBfuek/video.html

Had a issue with my Neon where it wouldn't accelerate past 2300 rpms. I fixed it with a new cam shaft position sensor.
Had the same problem but it was the air tube it had a huge crack and was sucking in air , part was 100$ so i just used black duct tape instead
Yup had this problem with my 5 speed 2000 gt celica hope this works
My gas doesn’t feel smooth when pressing the pedal and I’ve taken it to multiple auto repair shops multiple times regarding this issue. They keep telling me nothings wrong. Does VW Jetta’s have this part?
I haven’t drove my car for a month and the mechanic’s told me it might be a engine problem or something with the fuel system , so I checked my fuse box and it was a bad etcs fuse #10 and my car is good now.
The service dealer can charge hundred of dollars for this easy fix if we don’t know how.
DO THEY SELL A BIGGER CAN i may need more than ten gallons!
does my civic lx have the same censor like that?
My car had all these codes mentioned on the video. Was making my car shift hard I changed the air filter that solved my problem
I used the spray to clean the MAF, things have become better for some time but after that the same problem started again (car little hesitates and shakes when starting).
let's not forget about sorry fuel and transmission filters
I just tightened the jubilee clips either side of it. They were loose. Sorted not happened since.
I want to see how it works after you cleaned and installed.
How we sopose to know that's the fix? How was runing that engine before the MAF sensor is cleaned?
Drive and find out? It’s a tutorial of a possible fix. “Possible”
THANKS
My Ford Focus MK1 2001 doesn't seem to have one?? It has the hard hose part just after the air box, but there's nothing in it, nothing it the pipe either. It goes straight to the throttle body with the throttle positioning sensor etc.. How does the car know the air flow?
I have a 2013 honda cr-v it hesitates about the third crank it starts then my check engine light is on and other lights I just put a alternated on today doing what's in your video should that fix the problem or should I look into the full pump it doesn't bog down or skip going up a hill or nothing but when I run the car a bit I shut it off then when I get back in it it starts right up and the check engine light is off so could the mass air flow be the problem?
Thanks.
Is it possible for the mass airflow sensor to be bad and the check engine light never going on?
Hi, my 2007 audi a4 b7 has very weak rev at idle. I stepped on the gas and the rpm just slowly goes up. Before it revs up nice and strong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi I got kia Rio 1.3 2001 model they don't have mass airflow sensor. I change idle control valve but still hestitat special when engine is hot.when u shift to first gear u can't leaf the car move it own.I must always press accelerates
Can the mass air flow sensor need a cleaning and not throw a code?
Yup
ευχαριστω πολυ
thank awesome
I like to thank you for your easy and understandable explanation.
Just Saturday finished at work to go back home and the middle of the way which is about 1 mile, I was waiting for the green light at the stop light and when I gave gas to my Car it hesitate it so bad I thought the engine is going to go off but it didn't, I continue to go forward but I noticed it was running rough like never before, I was afraid that my Car would stall and proceed to get out of the way because I got a lot of cars behind me, I shut it off and waited for a few minutes then turned on and made it home safely today I needed to go to the store and you did the same thing, I like to thank you for posting this, tomorrow morning I will do a cleaning to that sensor but I don't have that spray, do they sell it in any auto parts store? Thanks, JD
Oh man. It just happened to me couple days ago when i came to red lights. I stayed there for 20 min n cars were coming n waiting behind me while hazardous lights were on, then move on next line. I was talking to AAA, but after waiting for 20 min there, i turned it on n i drove. I didn’t know what happened but i also have the same problem that my car struggles to accelerate, maybe this caused that problem as well. Tomorrow will try this
@@kenantv7487 cool man, try it
@@jorgedominguez1957 just came here to tell u said: man, u’r not gonna believe but it just happened again. I was driving n in the middle of the road, my car stopped again. Since i got experienced couple days ago it happened, so this time i behaved quickly n tried to turn the car on immediately, luckily, it worked again coz it was one way n holiday week so already bad traffic n i d not want to cause extra traffic lol. Btw, i just bought mass air flow but i also asked the mechanic n he said if u don’t have any lights on, don’t do anything by urself coz it’s new car so just take to body shop n asked them to look at it , otherwise, if u do smt wrong, they’ll say we didn’t do it. (My car had body shop repair for bumper n they changed intercooler, but I already told them this issue n they changed it again but still the same issue) going to try mass air flow.
@@kenantv7487did it get fixed?
actually the "wires" dont do much, they simply increase in temperature as a means to give the PCM a reference point so it can notice the differential relationship between the "hot" wires and the cooler intake air to procure the algorythms needed to adjust fuel/air proportions as per specs whicj are stored in the PCM....I like yur vids but be sure and inform your followers that the neg battery terminal needs to be removed before dealing with ANY sensor
Why?
oh. my. God... Sir, U may have just saved my Stang & me a whole crapload of money & further issues... MAF Sensor... nvr knew of it. changed so many other Intake platforms, but NVR touched ths one... let U know how it went later...
Hope it fixes the problem.
Mine was real bad i had to soak it in cemen overnight and then had to wory about geting the 02 senter pregnet
Well did that shit fix it??
Do Honda Accord 02 have mass flow air sensor to Or something different ?
God bless you
My engine is revving up alot when i give it gas but its like bottlenecking itself it revvs up and then accelerates slowly until it hits 2k rpm then it jerks and hauls ass i think its my fuel pump or a bad injector but i can have my gas pedal all the way down and it will cap around 65mph i installed an aftermarket air filter but it was running fine after that...any suggestions on what it could be?
Dr.@k3 aka Doctor At K3 if u used the cotton filter with the oil on it like k&n and others, the oil could be coming off and caking on the maf sensor....this would fix it.
Better call Saul
Sounds just like Saul holy shit
Patient Zero Haha...you got it spot on.
lmao
W
Hahaha - he's sounds just like him
Did that it helped for 100 miles then back to the same trouble as before. For $ 35 replace the sensor. Should take care of the problum if not the throttle body needs to be cleaned or replaced.
my ford focus 2004 drive for a while and then hesitate and shut off. i could start back after a couple of minutes. would this cause .
Clean mass air flow sensor. But also check air filter.
I did all that too, and new air filter but its killing me so bad I want to sell it.
Matthew Simonds if it's not idling right also check to make sure no coolant is running down into the spark plug holes 😒
also what vehicle is this for? I didn't see where mine was..
Goodmorning,
My engine hesitate anD i noticed water dipping from my exhaust, what would be the possible cause of this. Thank you sir
How can we actually know that this is the actual problem? Coz my car also struggles to accelerate when i press the gas or brake. It had body shop service n they changed the intercooler too. After I realized the problem, i went back n told them n they said it might be intercooler coz thats the only thing they touched when they changed the bumper so they changed the intercooler the second time with factory product but i still face the issue. Any suggestion?
I can't find my air flow sensor sir ..it's missing... I think my macanic missed while installing cold air intake.
I am getting problem while accelerate car not running how supposed to run
Darel Dias bro my mustang 2015 v6 has same issue when u turn on the speed then @ speed 80 my car misses for a second then it goes up 80 speed how to diagnose it I have cold air intake as well
not every car has one. some just have a MAP sensor
I got p0171, amd p0174 on a malibu maxx 05. I have replace the maf sensor no changes. Any ideas.
i have a 2007 chevy aveo that sputters upon acceleration or up hill at about 2500 rpms what causes this
