MAF sensor

I want to clean my MAF. I looked around the auto parts stores around here and couldn 't find MAF cleaner. Can I just use brake cleaner?

I don't think that you can, but someone else will chime and may know for sure. I would wait till some says for sure as the brake cleaner may ruin it

Couldn't have looked too hard. Oreilly's, AutoZone, and Advance Auto all carry CRC MAF cleaner. Ask them to order it if they don't have it on the shelf.

Yes, you can use brake cleaner. Dry it with a GENTLE shot of compressed air.

I've got electrical contact cleaner? Would I be better off using that?

Electrical contact cleaner works fine. MAF cleaner and contact cleaner are both non residue cleaners and thats the most important thing.
