Hey Stone, I dont think I'd want to become a service technician. I'm looking into environmental science at the moment.
Completly different fields :lol:

Thanks Scott, it sure does. I thought it would be really hard dissassemble and clean the first time then I found it was really easy.
Other people might have thought it would be hard too so I posted this up to show them how easy it really is

I've also got the pictures for a Throttle Body clean and Idle Air Control IAC clean, but I havent posted them up yet.
I'll do that straight after my exams are finished

Auto parts stores sell MAF sensor spray cleaners.
