    Can I clean IAT sensor with MAF cleaner?

    Is this a good idea?

    If not, what should I use to clean the IAT sensor?

    Thanks!

    Is this okay to do, or should I use a different cleaner (like electrical parts cleaner)?

    Thanks

    MAF cleaner will work just fine for the IAT sensor.

    Although I read somewhere that using MAF cleaner isn't good for the IAT sensor. I just want to make sure I don't f**k anything up.

    Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do, especially when it requires immediate attention.

    Thanks for the help.
