Not sure that I have the correct forum. Sorry if so.
I removed the MAF from my 94 SC400 to clean it since the car won't idle at all when coming to a stop sign or red light. Starts right up though. The dealer says the code 31 indicates an intermittant signal.
When I cleaned the MAF on my old Ford, I could clearly see the wires in the MAG. But the MAF on the SC400 has a longer tube inside and I can't see what to clean. Can't see any wire.
Would appreciate your telling me the how and where to clean.
Thanks
