No, it's not recommended to use parts cleaner to clean MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensors. Parts cleaners can contain harsh chemicals that may damage the delicate sensor components. Instead, it's best to use a dedicated MAF sensor cleaner, which is specifically formulated to safely clean the sensor without causing harm. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning to ensure proper maintenance.

Can you clean a MAF sensor with brake cleaner?

I can't say categorically, but I sure would not!I wouldn't think it good for the throttle body, intake, fuel injectors, cylinders and electronics to have brake cleaner sprayed on / in them.Do NOT use plain old carb cleaner or the like - ask at the parts store for the right kind of cleaner to use in order to avoid damaging this very expensive sensor. CRC makes a product specificly for your MAF sensor. DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE.
