Scotty, following your instructions I cleaned the MAF sensor in both of my Toyota Tundra trucks for the 1st time the other day. The entire process was easy, neither looked dirty but both trucks are much more responsive now that the sensors are clean. Thank you!

Really great rhythm and pace to the video. I when simple DIY instructions are drawn out over too much time.

Probably the best mechanic channel on youtube.

Hi, I took the van to a shop yesterday, he put a computer on it, and no codes came up, and he did do a Pressure test on the fuel valve, and the gauge read 0 just barley any gas coming out of it, Anyway it was the fuel pump going out. I bought one yesterday, and had a mechanic fix it, and now it runs great. Thank you for all your help. I sure wish you lived here, I would take my vehicles to you. You have good videos, and are very helpful.

Was hard to believe the other day in the auto parts store. That mass air flow sensor cleaner is $11.00 a can!!!

[brendamurray]

Thank you. When my check engine light came on, it worried me it could be a big deal. Now I know what has to be done. I had Advanco check it out for me. Mass air flow sensor was my issue. Thank you again your videos are so helpful.

from one mechanic to another.. your the man.

Thanks Scotty, great video and exactly what I needed to fix my daughters 2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Sxi. The MAP sensor seems to be moulded into the actual filter hose on this one and it’s a tiny little thing but, you can see it from the air filter end and reach it with the tube. I used WD40 Contact spray (which specifically mentions MAP sensors in their advert). It worked but, didn’t evaporate. So I dried it out by running a hairdryer through both ends. Thanks Scotty

By far the best car info videos on YouTube. This guy is a genius!

Kilmer is pretty inventive. He's up there with Chrisfix, but with more theater. Well done, Scotty!

Hi Scotty, thank you so much for all your help, but today I took my 2012 platinum f150 ecboost in for a routine oil change at a Ford garage here in Lex. KY…before the guy brought it back to me he came into the waiting area and said that my MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR was dirty, and it would cost 225.00 to clean it, but I told him I would just have it done later because I thought that was a little high….he also advised me there was over 1100.00 worth of other things that need to be done, and gave me a list of them to look thru… it was almost 5:00 pm, and he said they quit at 6:00 pm, but they would go ahead and fix them if I wanted, and I said you mean you can do 1100.00 in repairs in less than a hour…and he said yes …wipers being one of them he said they needed to be replaced, and I just had new ones put on 3 days ago…plus after I got home they had said that they had rotated my tires which was included in the oil change, but one of my rims has a tiny nick in it, and it was still on the left front where it had been prior to the oil change …so anyway that just seemed a little high to clean that sensor, and things didn’t seem quite right with all the other prices so i’m waiting on the repairs, and I just wanted to get your opinion first anyway…I also had a heater actuator go out on the drivers side on my way to the oil change, but forgot to mention it to them until after my truck was finished with the oil change…plus I didn’t know what had even happened to it anyway just knew cold air was blowing out on driver side…even if I put the control on 90….can’t wait to hear the price for fixing that…just bothers me because it only has 43, 000 miles on it…I bought it new, and have taken great care of it, but now it seems as if it’s falling apart…as always thank u so much.

GREAT JOB SCOTTY!!!! Smart, quick, and oh so EASY!! I will recommend you to everyone!

A few years ago I decided to use some Sea Foam on my 2001 Corolla, shortly there after my check engine light came on.  It give's me the error for air system or something, can't really remember exactly. I've gone in and cleaned the MAF a few times but the engine light didn't go off.  I've heard other people that used seafoam that say it blew their MAF sensor, just wanted to get your opinion on this, thanks.

PS, thank for the video on Gumout multi-system tune-up.  My car runs smoother and my speedometer light, that has been out for last 5 years, miraculously came on after using gumout.  Have no idea why this would happen, but I'm not going to complain.

[debragoodloe]

continue... he did not check the engine, he just went by what I said.  I been going to this mechanic for years and I trust him.  I really love this car and can't afford to get another right now.  This hesitation seems to be the only problem I am having.  Thank you.
