MAF cleaning

I just took it out of the housing and sprayed it with starting fluid. Once it dried, the car went from barely running (idling as if on two cylinders) and refusing to go over about 30mph to running perfectly as long as I kept the RPMs under about 3,200.

starting fluid

It is ether, the stuff you spray in the carb of an old junker to get it running...pretty similar to carb cleaner.
