Spray the inside of the MAF sensor- carefully. Let the cleaner work- it will remove the grime and than flash off (evaporate).

The vibration issue makes me think that there's a misfire. Does the vibration smooth out?

I will clean it the next week, I will receive the cleaners this weekend, my parents went to the states and they bought them for me. I was unable to get them here in Mexico City.


The vibration is not always, normally is when im in the traffic for more than 1 hour its when i start feeling it.

I will try to explain:

Im in traffic for more than 1 hour(i know this city suc#$% i want to move to another state) so im stopped with clutch pressed and in 1st gear we are moving very slow, then traffic start moving so i start pulling off clutch and pressing the gas pedal and thats when the car makes very weird like if i did a bad change, imagine when you pull off the clutch but didnt press the gas and the car starts to die, something like that but since i did press the gas it vibrates weird.

Also since we will start spring here theres been hot, i turn on A/C and the RPMS went down to 500 so now my IDLE will be 500 instead of 550 or 600 which i know is too low.
With the A/C on and in the traffic moving slowly and stopping i can see teh RPMs moving from 300RPMS to 500RPMs then they go up a little bit and so on until im idle again.


Thanks

I believe you are describing a low rpm stumble, most likely by an incorrect amount of fuel.

Turning the AC on does put more load on the engine, but the PCM should compensate.

I can't believe you are unable to buy MAF cleaner there. I believe you could also use Electronics Cleaner as well.

Just out of curiousity, you're not running a K&N filter, are you?

Although you may want to unhook the battery for about 30 min to allow the brain to relearn the fuel trims b/c you'll be getting more air. Use carb cleaner and a rag you don't mind sacrificing.

Use Throttle Body cleaner.
Carb cleaner is for carbs as brake cleaner is for brakes.
Disconnect battery to reset the adaptive learning of the PCM.

Right, do NOT use carb cleaner or brake parts cleaner- they are too aggressive.

You CAN use Electronics cleaner or MAF cleaner may be the same chemical- I haven't verified this yet.

BTW, I my idle (GT auto) is right around 500 rpm when it's warmed up in gear, and 600-650 when it's in park.
