Anyone have experience and/or success using the subject cleaner???

The CRC certainly won’t hurt anything so you might as well. The thing about any of those money back guarantees is that they are sort of empty. By the time you’re done spending the time trying to get your money back you’ve probably lost money. As for the code, its not really something you can get …

Yep, they sell 100, 1 of them asks for a refund, CRC’s big money ahead.

Thanks for your input, cigroller. I sincerely appreciate it. After I’ve cleared the CEL a few more times I’ll give the CRC MAF sensor cleaner a try then the Guarantee stuff and finally I still have 18 months before I have to smog again. Thanks.

Just FYI, I’m pretty sure - though anyone should feel free to give me the correct story if they know it - that the cans labeled “MAF Sensor Cleaner” contain exactly the same thing as the ones labels “Electronics Cleaner.” Except, you generally have to pay a bit more for the one labeled for the MAF …

Thanks. I believe you’re right. If it’ll clean electrical contacts etc. it should also clean bare wire. I’m going with it.

Caddyman, the trouble is, when emissions inspection is required, you can’t get the dang thing inspected with the CEL on. This guy has 18 months to worry about it, but after that he is SOL if that little light is still on.

I’m not totally SOL. In California if the CEL is on the smog inspection stops right then and there. Last September’s inspection passed because I erased everything, drove for a few days, until all systems were OK except the error P0421, but before the CEL had come on. Then I had the inspection and pa…

Cig, the only thing I’d suggest in using “electronics cleaner” is that one be sure the can does not also say “and lubricant”. I have a can at home that I use for connectors and contacts that does have that on it, and it does leave a protective lubricant film. I wouldn;t want that on the MAF sensor.

SMB, wow. I have never seen that an I agree completely with your assessment of it. Thanks for the heads up. It would be like me to pick up a can like that and use it without realizing!

Rus, Does your emissions testing place give you a printout of the pollutants being emitted by your car? Usually will have a list of HC, CO, CO2, and NOx. If you have that printout, and can post it, we can tell you how likely it is that its your catalytic convertor that will need to be replaced by…

Those are only some things that might happen only with only certain kinds of EGR issues. The lack of these doesn’t mean that your EGR system is functioning well. The lack of a code for it also doesn’t necessarily mean all is well. Sometimes it takes a lot for the computer to catch on.
