clean your maf NOW *pics*

I know its been discussed 1000000's of times, but I know I never really payed much attention. I was sitting around today with nothing to do, so I decided to try and clean it. I went to the parts store and bought some tamper proof torx bits and some seafoam (love that stuff)

Anyways, here are a couple pics. I was suprised how much dirt came off. I haven't drivin the car yet, but I will later. Before, it would start to ping when the engine was warm and I gave it some throttle. Hopefully this will solve that.

The first pic is of the little wires (after I cleaned em). Ive always heard about em, but ive never seen a pic. Im sure there are others that havn't seen inside the maf yet either. The next pic is the Q tips I used. Look at the dirt!

Ive heard im supposed to use every kind of cleaner under the sun. Ive always had good luck with seafoam, so I used it.

I just drove the car. I was amazed how much smoother it pulled. I can now waste the puny 16" tires from a standing start. Hey, thats a big accomplishment for a stock aode car!

Yeah, as long as there is some sort of moisture on the q tip I think its fine. I wouldn't blast the @#$@# out of it or anything, but just wipe it off real easy.
