Tried new product from Crc

I was recently on 350z.com and saw forum for a mass air flow cleaner by crc.So this past friday i picked it up from pep boys($5.99),disconected the mass air sensor from my injen intake(2 tiny screws)and sprayed 8-10 spray blast on to the sensor itself.I love the results! My coupe has about 22k miles on her and she breathes so much better. No bull this cleaner works.Ifeel the engine breathing smoother and pulling harder as a result.I recommend this air flow cleaner to everyone its available at your local auto store.Its like "vicks vapor rub "for your car.Thanks 350z.com also.

You really should try it. Crc also claims a increase in horsepower of 4-10and increase of mpg for $6 and 10 minuetes work.Driving around for couple days the claims are true.I have'nt checked mpg yet but will in future. As you know less = more.Less work to breathe (ie:dirty sensor,crappy signal to ecu )more power(ie:clean sensor,crisp reading to ecu )My right foot loves it too!

Sounds to me like a newbie joining to advertise a product. May not be the case but sure sounds like it.

CRC's a pretty big name product for some 'newbie' to come on a G35 board and claim its good. haha. I used their brake disc quiet when I put on my Hawk pads.

I doubt it'll make horse power gains. If anything, it just makes the car run the way its suposed to. The maf could be dirty causing an error in the amount of read or assumed air is going in, cleaning it could cause it to be more accurate and not misread. However, I think maf's and fuel maps are pretty much designed for a certain degree of error in which you wouldnt' see much of an improvement. Maybe if your maf is clogged.

You need a Torx 20 security tip. I found one at Sears. I cleaned the MAF assembly using the said. I didn't notice any difference, but then again, my G only has some 18k miles on it.
