Video tutorial

The air flow meter is the air flow meter: the control unit uses the data that the air flow meter sends it, to determine the exact amount of fuel to send to the combustion chamber. If the air flow meter is dirty, it will send inaccurate data, so the engine performance will not be optimal.

It is therefore necessary to keep it in perfect efficiency. We can keep it clean with a specific detergent for electrical contacts; do not use aggressive solvents, after removing it with a screwdriver from its seat.

We must be very careful not to touch the internal parts of the device with our fingers; if there are stubborn residues, we can gently remove them with a cotton swab. Do not use compressed air, as it could damage the sensor, but let it dry completely in the air. It is a fragile component that must be handled with the utmost care.
