thanks mudski - not sure what model that is but my truck is a 98 GU 4.5

i'm thinking about learning how to do this myself.. is it just the black box or the whole unit that i clean with MAF cleaner? i've watched a few you tubes clips where some just do the black box part and others do the metal section..

Is the MAF sensor the black box or the metal pipe or both?

Attachment 54888

It is the Little Black Box attached to the Brown Connector.
You have to undo the Screws and remove from the Housing and spray the Wire on the Tip. (Do not touch the Wire
Let it Dry before replacing.
By disconnecting the Battery you erase the self learned codes re Fuel delivery.

Good Luck It fairly straight forward

well i managed that ok - took the black box out and sprayed those two wire bits and the rest of the unit - then got a little excited and pulled the metal housing off with the honey comb filter and sprayed the metal strips and the the filter.

it all looked pretty clean but thought now i've removed it all might as well spray it with the cleaner..

reconnected the battery and went for a test drive and all seems good so far - fingers crossed i notice some difference over the coming weeks..

thanks for the advice everyone and thanks 3D for the offer of help// i appreciate it!
