i believe the oil from my k&n filter ruined my rebuilt maf sensor.

ive read some people have had good luck and bad luck with k&n filters


whether this is true or not i'm not the one to say i just want to know if there are other aftermarket options for air filters even paper ones

i hate my stock one so thats no option

and now i'm doubting my k&n air filter


i started having problems after i re-oiled mine. i gave it too much

i have no engine codes and no ses light coming up


but..... when my last maf started going bad it didnt give a code at first

first time trying to start the car it wouldnt kick in

immediately trying a second time and it starts

after throwing new parts at it just to know thats not whats wrong

i replaced my maf sensor with a rebuilt one with a core charge exchange


my problem was fixed

now after within a week of re-oiling my k&n filter its back after a year of being gone with the new maf


maybe the filter had nothing to do with it but before i invest in a new maf i want to make sure its not going to go bad too


i used the maf sensor cleaner no change the stuff doesnt work for squat it didnt even look dirty but i used the stuff 3 times

even got the excess oil out of the filter

any advise guys?

 

Well, DO NOT OIL YOUR FILTER SO MUCH.

And...

You can clean your MAF with some electric parts cleaner.

DONE.

 

wow thats great advice.

i got rid of the excess oil it was my first time oiling the darn thing i didnt knwo wat was too much i didnt want extra dust/dirt getting through the high flowing filter


and if you read i did clean the maf

i was asking if there are any other filters i could use or other brands

thanks anyway ill just search the web for other products
