This video could be edited and cut down to about 2 minutes while still communicating the proper steps. This is on the verge of making something simple complicated. But I'm sure it'll be a great help to people who arent mechanically inclined.
i had one of those battery operated screw drivers i gave it to my 4 year old.
and also i think you would want to remove the plug before you take the upper housing off
That video was...boring? Overly complicated for such a simple operation, IMO.
Those 'electric screwdrivers' really aren't worth much. Slow, underpowered, clumsy. If you do a lot of work to your car, I highly suggest a cordless impact...quick, good amount of torque...still clumsy, but two out of three isn't too bad.
Step 1 would have been disconnecting the battery before messing with any electical component/component wiring. We dont all follow that step, but it's something I'd recomend as proper etiquete when telling someone else how to work on their car. If they scew it up at least I can't be blamed or held liable.
Also storing metal parts/tools on your battery and using the fender as a work bench seems a little sloppy to me.
Hey guys, I know the video was somewhat boring and he could've missed out a couple of steps, but I think it was meant for people who are not mechanically challenged, someone on the forum is bound to watch this and do this someday..and no, it wasn't me who made this vid. Thanks pmohr who happened to notice the username and published date.
knight71 did you actually make this video.?OMG total waste of bandwidth.
I notice most of your posts are motivated by punch lines. Are you an aspiring comedian, or just someone with nothing better to do than post useless replies?

I noticed this right away too and was like what are you doing!?!

Not really. It's usually good for when people foul up their maf by over oiling an aftermarket filter. Otherwise, it's more of a very temporary fix for maf's that are dying a natural death. I'd say that spray is borderline gimick.
If there's nothing wrong with your car. I would say leave it alone. My theory has always been, if ain't broke, don't fix it, however if you are experiencing any sort of hesitation problems, read this thread about results after maf cleaning and decide for yourself, maybe a possible fix.
You sort of need the dealer diagnostic equipment to fully test the MAF. You gotta be able to see the gal/sec reading at certain RPMS's. Other than that you can test it to be sure it's getting voltage and has resistance, etc. according to the FSM. But, if you don't have a maf fault code, or related lean/rich fault code, I wouldnt worry about it.
1302 Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor switch fault...
MAP is not the same as MAF, obviously..
This is the best help I can give on that:

You mean grams/sec? Even the most basic OBD-II scanner can read that, and most any PC/PDA based OBD-II interface system can read that data, as well as datalog for future review.

Yes, grams. Thanks for correcting me. I have 2 very basic OBD II scanners that will not do anything more than show me fault codes. The more expensive one's will work for sure, I should have thought of that. You make an excellent right hand man... Don't expect a tip though

Well, OBD-II Scanners ≠ code readers though. Any actual live data feed scanner should show the data just fine.
New one coming
