I don't know. I have used it to clean the MAP sensor in my Jeep. It dries quickly without leaving a residue.

Brake cleaner?!? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that bad for the MAF? They make specific MAF cleaner...
A Ford tech on here said that's what Ford uses. MAF cleaner is probably just brake cleaner only $2 more expensive.

I've cleaned it half a dozen times.

brake cleaner cleans everything!

I have the same problem though. I thought it was because of my GT40 pumps. It must be something in the tune that after a while it learns something weird?

Well i'm not going to try and reload my tune. The ford racing procal tool takes forever to upload the tune. I'm sure it takes just as long to reload the stock tune.

I worked a short day today because of Easter so i'll let you know tomorrow afternoon if it does the stumble after sitting for 10 hours.

Similar to the OP's, my car had the same tune for about ayear & would startup with authority whether warm/cold. Then, all of a sudden... but mine was noticed directly after the axle back mod. My tune has been cleared & re-downloaded a couple of times but hasn't fixed it.

Hey Moose, any mods lately (just prior to noticing this)??
