MAF and Throttle Body Cleaning

Hey Everybody,

What is a good interval to clean the throttle body and MAF unit on a Toyota 3.4 V6? My rig is a 1999 SR5 extra-cab 4x4 with 166,000 miles on it. It does not have any problem accelerating. I am sure these units have been cleaned before. I just can't figure out the last time they were done.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Take it easy,
Paul

 

I do my MAF with an oil change....
Then hit the TB every couple years prolly, maybe a lil longer.

 

I cleaned mine at the 30k maintainence when I changed out the spark plugs had to remove the intake tube anyways same with the MAF 30k miles

 

Every time you're changing the oil is a good time to clean the MAF or Throttle body

 

The MAF are very easy to clean, but make cure you use a cleaner just for the MAF and not throttle body or brake cleaner.

 

Agreed. Mine had CRUD when I cleaned it @ 134K miles. I think from now on, I'll do it whenever I replace the brake fluid, every two years.
