I am having a little lag in acceleration and wondered if it is possible to clean the MAF sensor before buying a new one as at the moment I am just trying a process of elimination before buying a new one

Cleaning a MAF will make little difference, if you do decide to do it only use switch cleaner as it will leave no residue, I have just noticed your photo you have a FL 2 yes so it could be something different other than the MAF

I just put engine running and then pulled power supply to MAF and engine still ran which I was told means MAF not working is this right?

I think I will go down the route of cleaning it first as £4-00 is a cheap fix if it works

Only clean it with contact switch cleaner as it leaves no residue, and I doubt it will work, it may help for a short period of time but it will revert back to not in spec.

If the MAF sensor is kaput the engine will run better with it unplugged because the ECU reverts to a standard map without maf sensor input which Is better than it reacting to false input.
