Time to do it again, so I took pictures. Let's clean our MAFS the right way!
Tools needed:
* 7mm socket wrench
* Can of MAFS cleaner or electrical solvent
* Clean cloth, microfibre is good
Steps involved:
1) Locate the MAFS. Here 'tis, in the back of the air pipe leaving the air filter box.
2. Undo the 2 bolts holding it in place with a 7mm socket.
3. Carefully withdraw the sensor taking care not to bash it on anything. You might need to move the fuse box to the side a little to extract it.
4. Inspect the MAFS opening - you'll see some components and wires inside. Do NOT EVER insert anything in this hole. In your hands is a $400 component.
