I noticed my gas mileage was steadily declining. Stage 0 is done. I took off the MAS and noticed some dirt and corrision.. What type of solvent do i use to clean it, without destroying it?

I use carb cleaner and it worked great on mine, but it won't remove corrosion. And don't touch the little wire inside with your fingers or anything else it is very fragile, just spray it !

Electrical connection cleaner is advised and reccomended! It does not leave a film and it dries clean.

Try both product on a piece of paper and see which one leaves a spot.

PEP BOYS has a special spray cleaner for it that doesn't leave any residue. I've read not use carb cleaner on the wire

I did it a year ago and I sprayed it thouroughly, no problem since. It is not phosphoric acid, the wire is made of metal and this wire is heated at around 390 degrees while it is in operation. I wouldn't be afraid.

Turbo.......don't forget to unplug and clean the MAF plug contacts while your cleaning the MAF. Sometimes a low output from the MAF is caused partially by a dirty corroded plug.
