I clicked on that link and now I can't get the mofo off my computer. Nothing opened up. The link has a problem. shady
This is what you want to use to clean your MAF. You can find this at your local advance auto parts or auto zone. Costs roughly $5-6 a can and wont hurt the airflow element like carb cleaner potentially can. Just clean it every oil change to keep your vehicle running top notch.
I don't get it. What creates the static charge? The contents of the can decompressing? Does the charge build up on the can? Do you mean there is danger of the charge jumping to the MAF sensor and damaging it or the control module?
I was made aware of this phenomina during electronics training in dealing with microprocessors. You would be surprised at the number of things that create what is termed static electricity, and the amount of voltage involved. Rubbing a balloon on your arm, then using it to raise the hair on your arm requires about 100,000 volts.
I doubt very seriously that a fifth grader understands the complexity of static electricity as many scientists are bewildered by the phenomenon.
I don't want to get into the theory here, you can do a web search for that. Here is a hint:
Because it is applied directly to the sensor. A static charge does nothing as long as it is static (not moving). Only when there is particle separation does a condition exist for particle movement. shady
