I cleaned my MAF sensor today... it was pretty grimy in there.... i took it out and sprayed it down with contact cleaner... the sensors inside it were pretty dark and afterwards it was pretty clean... hopefully that will fix everything.. I cleaned all the mudd out of my engine compartment too.... also put Sea Foam in my gas tank and frest tank of gas....

I have a question though...anyone that has had problems with the MAF sensor and cleaned it like i did how long did it take for you to notice your mpg go back up... will it be instantly or over a gradual time... also how often should i add sea foam to my gas?

Reset the ECU and allow the engine to run for 15 minutes and all should be good.
