Make Your Car Run Better with a Little Spray Cleaner

one, two, three, four! Rev up your engines! It's time for the scotty kilmer channel. Today I'm going to show you how you can make you engine run better by using some spray cleaners. Now when I was a young mechanic in the 1960's, yeah a long time ago, car all had carburetors on them. You had to clean them all the time to keep them running right. But modern cars, heck they're all fuel injected so most people think, oh everything is run by computers so I dont have to do any cleaning. Well that's not true. Because over time, the MAF sensors here and the throttles can get gunked up, so they need cleaning. And you want to make sure you use the right cleaners for doing it. In this case I'm using a CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor for the mass air flow sensor like this. You just unplug the sensor, and unscrew it, and then wiggle it and pull it out. And as you can see in here, the sensor part in here has a lot of dirty on it, theres also dirt inside, so you just spray it clean. You just spray it till all the gunk gets off it. And also spray the inside on one side, then turn it over, and spray the inside of the other side to back flush it. And now you can see how nice and skinny the chrome is here, all the dirts off of it, and the inside's clean too. Then let it air dry about fifteen to twenty minutes before you put it back on, so we'll clean the throttle while we're waiting for that. Now the air box is in the way, to get to the throttle, so we got to take the air box out of the way. Then we loosen the clamps of the other part and pull it off. Then when thats all out of the way, there's the throttle that we want to clean, you can see it's all dirty inside. Then you get your throttle body and air intake cleaner, and start to clean it. Now do this on a cold engine, because you dont want to have any flames or anything when it's cold nothing's going to happen. Then start spraying all the crud out. And you also want to push it with your fingers so you can get inside and clean. And also have a rag to wipe it all clean. Just look at all the crud that's it cleaned off. And just like the MAF cleaner, when you use the throttle cleaner, let it air dry for fifteen minutes or so, so it get all the vapors out. And look how nice and shinny it is now. Then put all the duct work back on. And tighten up the clamps. Then put the air filter housing back on. And last but not least, put the MAF sensor back in. Then screw it in place. And snap the electrical connection back on. And there we have it, a nice smooth running engine and all it took was a little bit of spray cleaner. So the next time your car starts running a little bit odd, why not try fixing it with a little spray cleaner yourself. And remember, if you have any car questions, just visit scottykilmer.com
