What Do You Use To Clean Your Afm?

[avant]

hey guys i got an auto 92 gtst with a green label AFM, sumtimes leaving the lights the car stops making power past 3 thou revs, since this is an auto i have to switch the car off and start it again for it to be working fine. my guess is the AFM screwing up, since the things covered with oil, could i be right?? if so how would i clean it without damaging it, got no $$ to buy i new one since i heard they go for around $250+??

cheers guys

electronic contact cleaner...dick smith sells the cans of it works a treat

just spray it on and make sure you dont touch the vane at all....

Naah you should use something better than contact cleaner, especially if it's really gunked up. Go to an auto shop & get urself a can of throttle body/carburettor cleaner, that stuff eats grease carbon & oil like it's going out of fashion. Costs about 5 to 10 dollars I think. You can use it to clean ur entire intake if you really want to with it & it won't harm ur engine if you spray a bit down it (that's what it is meant for after all).

Hope you haven't been running your car too hard cos if ur afm is dirty it'll be running lean as hell, bad news for turbos & engines.
