Good to know. It is true, you learn something, every day.

There are many different types of brake parts cleaner. Make sure to use a non-chlorinated cleaner, and use it sparingly. There are also electric parts and electric motor cleaners out there, and they are similar to brake cleaners, but they don't seem to all work the same. There are even electrical contact cleaner, which I've used many times, which cleans and leaves a lubricating film. Sweet stuff.

Yeah... I wouldn't say that electrical contact cleaner is in any way the same as brake parts cleaner. It's much milder and won't eat platic like brake parts cleaner! Get the cleaner that you need for the specific job unless it's something like "tape head cleaner" that has one ingredient like denatured alcohol that you can buy by the gallon at tru-value hardware for the same price as the 2oz bottle in the music store!

Today, I picked up the MAF sensor from Airborne Express station and went to the machanic for the regular oil change, coolant flush and MAF installation. Took about two and a half hour to do all and he charged me $80 in total, not bad huh?Now the Q is running like a brand new and I'm so happy that I wouldn't have to worry. Thanks guys for all the inputs!
