This is why you clean your MAF sensor

[rysermon]

This one is appropriate.
I'm glad I took the cover off to have a bit of a look.
I cleaned the MAF sensor today and also the filter with the CRC product. Never had a problem with the O ring but I did find another problem.
Can anyone spot it.

Don't let the arrows give it away.

and fixed up.

It ALWAYS pays to double check work... Spend a few minutes going over to make sure that stuff is done right.

hey mate, i cleaned mine today and discovered the same thing !, do you know how long/big that silicone hose is i gotta pick up one asap from super cheap or repco?

Do have a step by step, pretty green around a motor but doesn't seem that hard and I'm betting mine has never been done.

Can anyone tell me where i can get a replacement o-ring for the MAF sensor?
Did a search on here, eBay and called Toyota.
No deal...any help would be appreciated.

[boxhead55]

It is not sold by itself . So some place like enzed or Repco it is a metric oring.

Cheers bh

Went to a company called Ludowici Sealing Solutions..20 cents for the o-ring!

[boxhead55]

Yep good stuff

[runningman]

Where exactly is the maf sensor? First time workng in this part of the engine! Any photos?
Thanks

[runningman]

was looking in the completly wrong side of the engine!! Dumbass that i am!

Just in case others are as dumb as me (!!) heres the location of the MAF sensor in the filter box

[TomFranzen]

Any one know the specifications - diameter thickness etc if the O-ring?

Goodman! - Toyota charged me $400 for a new O ring [plus MAF] as the 20 cent oring was cracked
My view of go ahead with anything in reason to rectify the P2008 code, ring me if unsure.
Would have though that doesn't inlcude $400 o-rings and a hour to replace it but thats what you get when you go with Toyota Service an 'genuine' denso parts

STEP AWAY from the compressor!!! all you need to MAF cleaning spray. about $25 from most auto stores.

I did mine last week, made a difference to power (more) and fuel use (less)

Compressed air is dirty and has moisture depending how often it has been emptied.

[jaybags]

Possibly a silly question - but should the battery be disconnected prior to disconnecting the sensor?
Going to check mine over the weekend.

[packeteer]

prob a good idea
