Cleaning the map sensor

Work was slow today so i though i would bring my truck into the warm and toasty shop to check some of the chores of my "to-do" list. One of those item on my "to-do" was to clean the MAP and IAT. i got the IAT dont but i couldnt find a socket or crows foot or open end wrench that would fit. So fellows what size is it? i'm gonna go buy one and leave it in my truck with all the other "essential tools" needed to own one of these truck. i really wanna get this done before thur. because the IAT was horriable. so please anyone chim in and shead some light on my issue at hand. thanks every one

Brad

Hi, for the IAT I believe its a 13/16 deep socket. Use carb cleaner for this sensor, just make sure you're well ventilated or the boom factor is can be entertaining. I believe the torque numbers is 10 ft/lbs. Here are the instructions.

1 1/4 deep for the MAP sensor. I use electrical parts cleaner for both of these. IIRC I read somewhere that carb cleaner can hurt the plastic on these parts. Just my .02, Kurt
