I just wanted to let everyone know my results with cleaning my MAF meter/sensor.
The Service Engine Light was on and the code was throwing a "Faulty MAF sensor" so I new that I needed to replace the sensor on my '00 D2 with 50k miles.
I removed the tube thingy that holds the sensor from the airbox tract, then removed the (2) crazy screws, I used pliers to twist the screws loose, after removing the sensor from the tube I then proceeded to clean it with "CRC QD electric cleaner"
I used approximately 2oz. which is 1/2 of the small can I bought. I did small burts letting the sensor dry in between cleanings. The first spray resulted in dark runoff so I knew the sensor was dirty.
While I was at the hardware store buying the cleaner I also bought (2) stainless screws to replace the goofy LR MAF sensor mounting screws. I think total of both screws and can o' cleaner was $5.00------Better than $125.00 for a new sensor
I highly suggest cleaning your sensor if you have 50k+ miles on yours.
