Default Ummm...Bad but it doesn't matter much anyway. Hans \/ is right..

Alchohol or Contact cleaner only...Film that reads the air is not meant to be bathed in caustic chemicals..

Default Thought I remembered something Mike said regarding throttle cleaner, so I thought carb cleaner was

the same.

Basically, I sprayed the carb cleaner all over the senor and up inside, followed immediately by the contact cleaner. Was literally a few seconds between the two.

Hmmm...we'll see when I fire her up tomorrow.

As you know, the car is sitting on a lift because the struts are 1-0. Thanks, again, for talking with Allen. We'll try again Monday.
