cleaning MAF sensor
Hi,
Has anyone cleaned the MAF sensor on their LS400? Cleaning it is supposed to give 2 or 3 mpg back, as it's never cleaned by Lexus.
Cheers.

aftermarket is a bad plan for any fuel injection or ignition components, though if you can find OEM, have at it
in other words, take O2 sensors for example, these were made for Toyota by Nippon Denso, so if you can find the exact O2 sensor in the aftermarket made by Nippon Denso, (like I was able to find recently) then that would be great, otherwise, I would NOT recommend it!
your MAF was likely made by Nippon Denso, but some were made by Aisin, either of those brands aftermarket would be fine. Those two companies made most of the parts on your LS400

you can get a used and perfect shape MAF for a '98-00 for cheap, the same sensor was used on many other lexus/toyota vehicles.
