i cleaned my maf on my 2000 max w/ CRC.. and it worked but then it kinda started going soon after.. so im a little terrified to touch the one on my 2k2 max.. i actually had my intake all apart yesterday and choose not to clean it even though i have some leftover spray.. so if u do it i would appreciate if you post back if u noticed anything or it it hurt anything ect ect.. g/l
