Air Mass Sensor Cleaning

The air mass sensor is a unit that measures the air flow going in to the engine, after a while loads of oily muck can get stuck on to the wire like sensor filament and it doesn't work very well this can result in:
Air Mass Sensor Location i) poor starting
ii) rough idle
iii) "lumpy" acceleration

If you are very carful you can clean the element. Use electrical contact cleaner to spray on to the elements and blast off any muck. DON'T TOUCH THE WIRES WITH ANYTHING THEY ARE REALLY THIN AND MAY BREAK! Air Mass Sensor

Give them a good squirt. leave for 1 -2 minutes and then squirt again. Leave to dry and replace unit. Car should now run really smooth.
