i was told by the guy at van aaken to try cleaning my MAPS sensor, to possibily correct the jerking and surging i am getting with the van aaken installed. so how do i do this, or is there a site with instructions on this?
TIA Bret

 

I've been taking my MAP sensor out and using a few drops of lacquer thinner to clean it. Then using a bit of compressed air to blow the junk out.

Also been doing the same fot the IAT sensor.

Really common for people that have jake brakes to have to clean these two sensors.

 

I have been getting some jerking in my truck. Pulling especially. People are telling me it is the apps, but I have no codes. I have had a jake on it and use it pretty much every time I drive it. Where are the two sensors you are talking about? I will try this as soon as possible.

 

The MAP sensor is the white connector just passed my boost line. The IAT sensor is even farther back. The only way I could get a pic of that is to get under the truck and shoot the back of the head. Yes it's that far back...

I used electrical contact cleaner so as not to dissolve the sensor material.

 

I'm going to try this on mine, and see if I can improve the mileage!!
