Ford Focus: How to Clean the MAF Sensor

[@alistairblaire6001]

Thanks for the vid. I need to replace the purge valve so I figured might as well clean the maf while I’m in there

If the ducking/ hose is loose will it cause the code?

[@ProjectDIY2]

A loose intake duct can cause a code to be set. Thanks for watching!

After cleaning my maf sesnor engine light came on is it bad sensor or i have damaged it ?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Have your codes read to see what it is. Then clear them and see if it comes back.

@@ProjectDIY2 no i didnt i will try it

Can I clean it with brake cleaner?

[@jordanstephens8081]

@@alexdubmaster3477 nope you need proper mass airflow sensor cleaner for it. it evaporates so it doesn't leave any buildup in or around the sensitive sensor. CRC has mass airflow sensor cleaner usually not too expensive

[@tjarthur7580]

​@@jordanstephens8081 i have a sensor clear is that pretty well the same

[@anioyarzabal1242]

How do i know if i need to clean my maf sensor?

[@ProjectDIY2]

If your car runs bad you should clean it. In general though, you should clean your maf once every couple of years, or every year if you drive in a dusty environment.

Oh man, I'm glad I saw this, I'm getting installed a cold air intake plus a muffler delete on my 2012 focus, so getting that sensor clean is crucial for better performance, thanks for the info. ​@ProjectDIY2
