The stealership wanted to charge me $260 to clean two engine components, the mass air flow sensor, and the throttle body. I was able to clean them myself for under $20 in about an hour!

Also, I know the MAF replacement is not $600. I was given some bad info before the video and I didn't do my research. From what I'm seeing it's about $100-$150 for a Toyota MAF Sensor.

those bungees are cracking me up, appreciate the vid. Gonna clean mine this weekend and just wanted to see what others did. For everyone else, you can spray the cleaner on the rag and wipe with it easier.

I just did the MAF and Throttle body today on my 13 Camry, which has 100,000 miles on it. The location of the TB was not as easy to get at, as your truck, but the MAF was easy. Everything went well, took me about an hour! Like you I probably saved my self $300.00 Cdn or more.

Great video! Consider running the OSC catch can! It’s been a huge help with keeping the yuck out of the intake.

How NOT to clean an electronic throttle body. Do not spray cleaner on to the electronic throttle body. You run the risk of damaging the servo. Instead spray a little cleaner on a clean rag and wipe clean. Moreover no need to replace the silicone gasket unless it's cracked.

Thanks for this video, definitely going to do this to my Taco now! Just out of curiosity how come you didn't take the throttle body out and clean it like the sensor? New subscriber love the content! Im from Nevada!

@desertdime Жыл бұрын

You can see around 7:45 that there are a few different wires and harnesses connect to it and in my opinion it’s not worth messing with all of that to get a little bit more room.

My Tacoma does that thing where it will start and then die the first time I start it after reconnecting the battery cables. Apparently it is the throttle position sensor which is really easy to reset

Just gotta give her a little bit of gas on that initial start up for a few seconds 🤘🏼
