RX300Billy

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. RX300Billy

Thanks for help. My 01 RX300 had trouble with idle and low rpm idle too. Cleaned the idle control valve as instructed and works great. A little note for first timers, use a #3 philips screw driver for the 3 screws on the throttle body. Be prepared for coolant to leak out, I had about a quart of coolant leak from the hose line. Maybe it was because the car engine had been run. I did have to buy 3 new screws from the dealer, as mine were a worn out.
