Default Cleaning LS3 MAF Sensor..

Has anyone cleaned their LS3 MAF sensor with the MAF sensor "spray can" cleaner? Is there a recommended technique to do it?

Yes, I used CRC electronic parts cleaner on my LS3 MAF. Just spray it on, let dry and install. Never had an issue. It's not a bad idea to do, especially if you are running an aftermarket oiled filter.

I use the generic MAF sensor cleaner from AutoZone just the other day on my stock LS7 MAF sensor.

Just disconnect the sensor, pull it out of the intake, I gave it a few shots of the cleaner, let it sit a minute in between. After a few runs, let it sit for 5 minutes then reinstalled.

No issues, just felt like cleaning it. Running a halltech killerbee intake.
