MAF Sensor Cleaning GM 3.8L Series 2

In this video I'll show you how to clean a mass air flow sensor on a GM 3.8L V-6 Series 2. The particular vehicle featured in this video is a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville, but this engine is used in a myriad of other GM vehicles, so this should help a lot of folks.

Be sure the vehicle is not running when performing this procedure. Also, be sure do read and follow the instructions given by the producer of the Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner that you will be using. Only used Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner to clean your mass air flow sensor. Cleaners such as brake parts cleaner, carburetor cleaner, intake cleaner, ect will damage your mass air flow sensor.
Perform this procedure in a well ventilated area. Keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case of fire.

Note: the condition and presence of the o-ring of MAF sensor should be checked. This is the o-ring that goes between the sensor and the throttle body. If missing or damaged it should be replaced.
