Best way to clean the MAF

[aclo]

Morning all... any tips on the best way to clean out the MAF ( 88 RR V8 )? Was thinking carby cleaner and just letting it dry ??

Carby cleaner is a bit harsh isn't it? I haven't done it but I think a wipe over with a baby wipe would be a bit kinder.

Thanks Mat, I'll give that a go.

Yikes!!!
How would you get a baby wipe into the sampling hole?
The thing to use is no residue electronic parts cleaner available from Jaycar. I believe it is CO2.
Just spray into the little hole until you see 2 shiny wires emerge from the gloom. Then shake it around to let the fluid out and let it dry completely, which isn't long.
I presume you mean a 3.9 with a MAF and not a flapper.

I've always used metho on various vehicle types (Toyo, Nissan, LR). Just get a largish container, I usually steal wife's tupperware when she's not looking, fill it with metho and totally immerse the MAF for a few minutes. Shake it out and let it dry.

Wouldn't ether leave a residue?
Surely electronic parts cleaner is the thing to clean electronic parts with.LOL
