Hi all,
Thought I'd post a photo of the crud that I found built up on my MAF sensor.
Saw over on the newtriton forums that many members were finding MAF sensors quite dirty, so I decided to pull mine out and have a look (1 minute job). Turns out the upstream (filter) side was covered in a build up of black/brown crud (I'm running factory paper filters). I cleaned it off with CRC MAF Sensor cleaner and put it back in.
My vehicle has only done 35,000kms, and was only in for a service 2 months ago, so looks like it doesn't get inspected as part of Mitsubishi scheduled servicing.
Not sure if it's going to make much difference, but I had found my vehicle blowing a little more smoke recently, which is what prompted me to look for some answers. Will keep an eye on it now and see if things change at all.
I think the photos are pretty good evidence that it's probably worth adding this to your regular DIY inspections/servicing. Takes <5mins to remove, clean and reinstall.
Be interested to hear what others find.
Cheers,
Drof
