Sluggish throttle response?

My car was getting lazy and I kept resetting the computer every few weeks to compensate. Finally got around to cleaning my MAF last night, what a difference. Car is shifting and responding like new. I guess the moral of the story is cleaning it out everytime you do an oil change.

I replace mine about once a year on the Kleemann. Anyone know of a "cheap" place to get a new one?? I've just been going to stealership and getting a new MAF and retail is about $200.

This is so easy, even a caveman can do it.

Pull your airbox, release the retaining clip and pull the MAF, disconnect the harness and clean with MAF cleaner. Reinstall.
