Tricky-Ricky Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 MAFs do often respond positively to correct methods of cleaning, despite the fact that they are supposed to be self cleaning by there nature being a heated wire, but that's quite a big increase in MPG.

ilogikal1 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If you're impressed by that increase in MPG from cleaning the MAF, just wait until you discover those other 5 gears... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If you're impressed by that increase in MPG from cleaning the MAF, just wait until you discover those other 5 gears... lol I get 20-21 mpg with my perf mods (have run out of NA mods to do..).. that is with tune. I've thought about cleaning both MAF's.. but with the low miles on the car and getting 20-21mpg I think it best to leave the MAF alone unless you are experiencing a very noticeable issue.. like 13mpg.. good lord. When I was doing my data logging.. driving full throttle in various gears.. sometimes getting up to 135mph .. ie: 4th gear run.. the worst my MPG got to was 15.7 .. 13mpg, wow. What year and how many miles are on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
