Default Cleaning my MAF

Im trying to clean my maf sensor and its stuck on the SLP lid. i dont wanna break it so can i just spray the cleaner on the maf, wait for it to dry and still get the job done?





Also my horn has quit working, whether i lock the car with the keypad or push the spots on the steering wheel,



so is a 1994-1997 horn setup the same b/c those are the only camaros i can find at a pick and pull

Use a hair dryer to heat up the lid and it should come out easier.

well i still couldnt get it off, probably b/c the car couldnt get the intake hot enough.

but i still cleaned the MAF with it attached thile keeping the cleaner off the lid.

i forgot after pics though >.> after i let it dry completely and put it back i couldve sworn that there was a bit more throttle response.

I had also re-oiled my K&N filter and put it back in too.


now i just need a horn and some high flow cats
someone told me i could get magnaflow cats for like 40 bucks on ebay?

well i didnt have to clean it but since i dont know what maintenence was done before i owned the car i was starting to do the basic stuff.

Of course you can say the (The K&N came in the car) K&N filter caused it to get dirty, and i probably did.

However im not rushing out to get a new filter anytime soon. Unless someone shows me a better quality filter thats cheap.


AND of course i only did the one side XD. Jesus.

When I first got my TA, I took it apart to see what all needed to be done.. I found parts of a bird in my MAF screen... no joke.. a feather and a curled up foot.... ended up having to take screen out but after some chemtool, it was a totally different car...

You'll fix the MAF **** fast.
The horn thing can be done by re-programming your remote.
Pull out the manual.
You can change different alarm functions.
