my truck's check engine came on and we cleaned the maf sensor and the light turned off. 200 miles later the light is back on. should I clean it again or should i just replace it? i have the damn light.

What is the dtc code that is being tripped?...Is it the same code now?
How did you clean the Maf?....assuming that was the problem to begin with..

thanks 4 replying, I sprayed it again with maf spray and the light went off (after connecting the battery), hopefully this time it will stay off. If I get a check engine again I'll take it to get a code. I don't remember the code but i was told it was the maf sensor. I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't come back on. Thanks ottawaguy...

hope you get it worked out. I have not had to deal with a maf issue yet, so i'm not sure how effective the cleaning is....but I'm sure it will buy you some time if it's on it's way out. I hear it matters what you use to clean them though. If you're using a maf specific cleaner, then I'm guessing it's fine.
Let us know how it works out.
