Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I used a spray MAF cleaner specifically for MAFs. I didn't actually touch the element at all with anything but the spray which I let drip dry.
I did have some initial problems with the car “bucking” when I tried to drive it. I lubricated the MAF O-ring and the contacts contact grease...solved that problem. still have CEL.
Regards, PK
I also had a P0110 reading and removed the mass air flow meter, cleaned with carb/oxygen cleaner and reinstalled, and reset error code and car drives great. smooth. I read that dirty maf meters may cause my transmission to shift weird as my tranny was staying in 3rd gear and not shifting to the o.d. I hope the cleaning helps my tranny.
