Hey has anyone made idle,hesistations,etc. Problems worse or even damage their maf sensor when attempting to clean with crc maf cleaner?

 

no.

2 3 4 5

 

never. all you do is spray a little and let it air dry. just dont spray it like you are rinsing off wheels with a water hose

 

I'm glad someone posted this, I was planning on cleaning mine but it says don't use on most lexus vehicles, but everyone's told me it's fine

 

It does say dead on the back of it don't use on Toyota turbo cars or Lexus vehicles.i think that it has to be there for a reason so I put it back.is there another cleaner brand for the maf.thats the only one they had at my auto parts store.?glad someone posted about this

 

I've used it a dozen times or more on my 3 Lexus vehicles with no issues.

 

I have also used it on my car about 6 months ago and have no issues. I will say it scared me that on the back it says not to use on Lexus but I read that everyone uses it so what the hell. Worst case I have to buy a new MAF sensor. But hey....no problems so whatever.

 

yea in the sticky forums under maf cleaning other people had the same concerns but one cl member found information that the warning on lexus cars was referring to gs300 1993 and below due to their maf sensor being the karman vortex style. us 1998-2005 are good to go

 

so im gonna buy it tonight and use it...thanks for all the input

 

This is partially correct. 98-05 gs300 have karman vortex. The cleaner warns not to us on these. The gs400/gs430 have hot wire mafs so you can use on them.

 

I used it twice in two years of owning my 1998 GS300

No problems at all for me.

 

Say what you want but NOT ONE member on this forum has mentioned ever having a problem using CRC...just sayin.

 

No I'm just used a brake cleaner to clean my maf and I have better response just like a new car. I used autozone brake cleaner btw

 

So to confirm, is it OKAY to use CRC MAF Cleaner on a 1999 GS300.. I am getting mixed responses.

 

I have a hot wire on my 400, used it with zero negative effects...

Brake Cleaner= DO NOT use it can melt plastic

Throttle Bottle Cleaner = DO NOT use some have oils in them

Guys it's perfectly safe to use Cnc Maf cleaner it's ok, I've never heard one bad story about Cnc on a 300...
