As most of you know I have been having major fuel milage issues all of a sudden. And I think I have it solved. I cleaned the MAF and throttle body, no better. I cleaned the filter even though it was not that dirty and reoiled it but no better. then recleaned the MAF and whamo better. I don't know if it is all the way better, but definately better. This shows how important it is to keep the filter and MAF clean. I think the weather change and pollen really clogged things up.

 

Hey Smoke is it possible the last time u cleaned ur air filter u used excess oil and it got the MAF dirty?

 

could the catalytic converter be dirty or plugged up?

 

Well this was the first cleaning. I just put the CAI on in december, so I did not think that was it, also it looked clean. But yes after the filter was cleaned, the oil got on the MAF and coated it, so I had to go back and clean it again.

 

How did you clean the maf?

 

carb cleaner and a clean rag, just be very careful with the sensor.

 

Yeah do you think the screen helps keep it clean at all.

 

don't got one, took it off a long time ago. And no I don't think it helps
