I am fairly certain that my MAF sensor got fouled on a recent excursion (dirt got past my K&N filter--you can see it plainly on the top of the filter when it went around the corner--I have switched back to paper) and has been causing my too lean faults.

Can you clean the sensor? Spray it down with carb cleaner or something, or do I have to buy a new one.

Cheers,

These things are supposed to self-clean by doing a short burn off at switch off time. Check the contacts on the plug for clean and tight, check volts across first and last pins - 1.5-1.95V on but not running. Adjust with hex key under the tamper-proof plug (hah!).
