cleaning AFM

[HRthirtyone]

hey guys just a quick question,

after a month or so of driving, i found my mates HKS foam type air cleaner not installed properly by compliance.. there was a shit load of dirt in the intake, and when i inspected the turbo, the blades were quite hacked up... not happy..

any way my question is would all the dirt have gotten in the Air Flow Meter as well (there was HEAPS) and possibly be causing it to run rich??

if so, what do you clean it with??

Just use a good quality brake cleaner, must be the non residual type. Cost about $10 a can for decent stuff.

Just remove the AFM and spray the wire element. Its that simple. Pretty amazing watching all the black shit just disappear.

Some people recommend electrical contact cleaner, but I have never used it. Just make sure it is non residual whatever you use as alot of electrical contact cleaners do leave residue.
