Checking and cleaning MAF sensors

[PoorKing]

I would advise on any car that has a MAF to get some MAF cleaner and clean it every service. Probably not necessary for road cars but it doesn't hurt to do it.

Is this what the ZD30 Maf sensor looks like or am I ment to pull it apart some more so it looks like the rest?

No such thing as a dumb question only dumb individual's hahahaaha

Warwick. That is exactly what they look like. That is the complete unit. Nothing more to pull apart. If you look inside the small metal plates are the actual "sensor" bit, and they're the ones that need cleaning.

Funny last night while George was here trouble shooting we went through my collection of AFM's and all but one were working and that one belongs to Irish which he lent me????

Bloody temperamental things and pricey!!!

ive tried cleaning it once..and i was dumb enough not to read instruction for cleaning it..after cleaning it..i waited for 20min(i didnt know i was supposed to waited until it was completely dry inside out..) and install it..and there it goes..maf sensor gone faulty..new maf sensor installed..,cost me hundred bucks..and its was like a virus..after it goes faulty..it effect everything..2 trouble code found..injection timing control,maf, light up..and now its top overhaul..blown head gasket..not sure if the head cracked or not..

I'm using the maf housing and hi flow lid. Once put in I saw no difference what so ever. It's was only until I found I could screw up the boost a crap load more now is what made the difference. Pre fitment I could get no more than 16 psi. I have gone as high as 25 psi and still didn't get limp mode. Currently running 20 psi now.
