Hey Guys,
Is it possible to remove the screans on the MAF or a 87 TPI? I've used the CRC cleaner but the front of the resistive wires are dirty and the backside of the wires are bright silver, so I don't know if it's doing it's trick. How would the screen be removed for cleaning?
Thanks

the MAF has a self cleaning system built in. after the car has been running, after you shut it off the burn off relay kicks in and heats the wires red hot and then goes out. this burns all of the impurities off the sensor wires.

DO NOT REMOVE MAF SCREENS!!! It's not worth the ZERO HP gains, and it's not worth the hassle if it mucks up your maf and you have to buy a $400 brand new one.

last MAF i bought didnt cost $400 or even close and iv been screenless for years with no issues.

Right, but the gains are nothing. But, where did you get your maf from?

the last one i purchased was from AZ for about $150 and it was a BOSCH.
