Just cleaned mine as a last ditch effort before I ordered some new coil packs, and it took care of one issue I was having. I should know tomarrow morning on a cold start if it took care of the other.
I took out the whole assembly (couldnt find any of the tamper proof torx bits) and sprayed the tube where the actual sensor out with some good electrical parts cleaner (the kind that leaves no residue) and let it dry. I hit it one more time, and when it was done it would shine in the light. Wasnt like that before. There was a very small layer of dust inside the housing itself, so no doubt there was some on the element.
Anyway, that miss I had when I would let off the throttle is gone as of my short test drive. Tried it under load, and just normally letting off. Feels alot better... hopefully the cold stumble/miss will be gone!!!
It doesnt take long to do, and isnt hard... just seems like a good idea to take care of it, ESPECIALLY if you run a K&N or any other kind of oiled filter!!!
