Maf clean ?

[Killa]

Can I clean the MAF with out remove it from the intake ? cause I dont have the 5 star crew that had a hole in the middle. Thanks

You can remove those tamperproof bolts with needle-nose pliers if you don't want to buy the torx bit. You need to take it out to clean it.

Any store that carries tools or auto parts will have them.

Has anyone been successful cleaning the MAF and feeling a difference?

You dont even need to take those off. I just undo the clamps from the housing and unbolt from car. Then i spray electrical cleaning spray through the tube in there. I did it when i first got the car and i could see the wire was dark (ie dirty) and after some steady flow of cleaner it was "shiny". The second time i did it it wasnt that dirty but it still got clean.
