Cleaning MAP sensor

Unread post by NickCUK »

What can I safely clean a MAP sensor with on my Peugeot 307 1.6 petrol? Can I just soak it in alcohol overnight and the let it dry before refitting it. Would like to clean the air-flow sensor as well but not sure that is accessible.

The MAP sensor on or C5 was not responding to pressure changes as the accelerator was pressed so I took it off and found it was bunged up with oil. I sprayed it with carb cleaner, it was then responsive but then gave error codes suggesting a MAF problem so in the end I had to get a new one.
