Does anybody clean theirs on a regular basis? Im about to clean my IAT so I thought I would ask about the MAP.

 

mines not plugged in... so no. but ive heard its really finiky bout being cleaned.

 

Sooo, you run around with your MAP sensor unplugged??

 

Sha... I mean Dr.Evil, cleaning both of these is easy. The hardest part is getting them out without burning your hands - IE: make sure the block is cool!!

I kneel on the battery / fan housing and put a hand on the valve cover and the other with a head lamp on is used to reach and fish out the sensors. Clean them only with sensor approved cleaner and not some carb cleaner or for heavens sake not something worse like paint thinner etc. If you can remove your wheel well cover or figure out how to do it from underneathe then be my guest.

Cheers,

 

I run an exhause brake so cleaning of the IAT in necessary every 10k......I also did the MAP once and it was clean so I havent messed with it since then

 

Me too...and havent cleaned it for ages...think I wont bother with the map.

 

remove the wheel well cover?...nah too much work there. I can do it by feel - I was just curious if you guys clean your MAP on a regular basis. Thanks.

 

Here you go gang...

I clean mine every oil change... It gets oily and gunky...

 

I threw out the stock fuel filter canister, you can't even imagine how much room it opens up to work on that side of the engine. Now I wanna move the batteries back to the tool box so I can sit inside the engine bay like my old gasser trucks. maintenance was a snap on those.
