Default How to test Mass Air Flow Sensor

Does anyone know how to test the Mass Air Flow Sensor to see if it is working correctly. I had it cleaned by a master mechanic using MAF cleaner and I am not getting the gas mileage that i used to prior to the cleaning. Any info will be appreciated.

You need the service manual for your ride cause the MAF specs are in there. There is a way to check the specs out!

yeah, i am pretty sure the MAF is an all or nothing kinda deal. if it is broken you will throw a ton of lights and have that 3000RPM limiter. Yeah, gas mileage might be something else. (weight, tire pressure, weather, etc)

Sprayed on a clean cloth then clean MAF...or sprayed into MAF? Heard you should not spray directly into MAF.

disconnect battery and let the computer reset its parameters. a clean maf can throw off the computer.
