I never knew that there was a reset procedure like that, I was just always told to disconnect the battery for a few minutes and that would do it.

Very good to know this I guess that would explain why I couldn't get my SES light to go out from just undoing my battery cables.

I`d have to look, but if I`m not mistaken it was the one with the lube.

Need to get the one without the lubricant and clean it again. You just coated your MAF

BTW you should get your Injectors today.

i have used just alcohol and q-tips before as well...just be very careful with the qtip. But using the non-lube electra cleaner works great.

It helps to remember to plug the MAF back up once you clean it. That`s what I did. Thanks for your info guys
