[QUOTE="Lunchbocks, post: 2755071, member: 564487"] Every Honda I've ever worked on from the past 15 years has used a MAP. And for the record, what you did really had nothing to do with 'fixing' the MAF, really just a cleaning. Using the chemicals you did really isn't the way I'd go about it for reasons stated above. However, you never mentioned what kind of mass air flow; was it like a Karmen Vortex, a GM Hotwire, etc. I noticed you mentioned that afterwards there was no CEL but if there was beforehand then I'd recommend pulling that code to start things off. Now, as for the symptoms mentioned and whether or not the MAF really had anything to do with them... if there was significant buildup restricting airflow or blocking sensor pickup then I could see an issue. But if there is a sluggish feeling, sputter, and bad MPG, I'd probably look elsewhere first. For one, just the general tune-up areas and investigate sources of CEL's as mentioned before. If the mass air flow reading is actually the problem, then it should trip a code showing that it is out of parameter or you can use diagnostic equipment yourself to see if the readings are within spec.
