yep, any carb cleaner, its basically alcohol in a spray so evaporates quickly......

Carb clearner, it contains acetone, don't know about acohol, but take care about car paint....

ps: how many answer in how much time ?? :P

PS2: On the IACV, carb cleaner is not enough, a few drops of oil are needed but not WD40 ;)

Yeah, I know carb/brake cleaner but there's a story ( I can't find it now ) on the main site about a BMW owner who Eric helped. Teh owner had cleand the MAF once but it had left residue. A cleaner that left no residue was eventualy found and that fully cured his problem.

Anyone know a readily available brand of residue free?

try wurth, their products are normally good, but carb cleaner shouldnt leave a residue, thats the idea of it, to clean residue etc from the inside of carb jets, needles etc

i recently had to clean the MAF, was in a small village and wandered around looking for a suitable shop. Ended up in a bike (cycle) shop and got some of their disc brake cleaner, worked a treat !!

I got the cleaner! :))

clend the ISCV and MAF .. But as I say no great improvement.

I think I may had a leak on the downpipe.

I wish Alex Peper was not on holiday! I could have the car on the computer by now!
