Used this on my 2g GST MAS and now it wont start up. Read the guide here:

and just bought it. Come to find out we cant use it on our Karman-Vortex sensors now. So MAS destroyed and more $ wasted

Wow sorry to hear that but thanks for letting us know. I have some in my garage just glad I never used it.

I used it on my mas and it didn't hurt it. It's does say not to use it though.

The older cans dont say it. I guess they added some new chemical that our sensors dont like.

I've been using that stuff for years on my stock 2g mas, hasn't hurt a thing and car runs great. Did u make sure to let everything dry out real good before using again? I see on the back of the bottle it does say not to use on Mitsu, yota's turbo's, most Lexus. So maybe it's time to look for a new cleaner thats safer for the sensor. But like I said been using that stuff for years bro and not one single issue.

Yeah, that stuff is bad for KV mafs, but also, the KV mafs do not need cleaning like the others, so dont worry about cleaning at all. I was going to clean mine a while back, but luckily, a friend of mine who's an old school ASE master tech told me not to before I did it.

Weird. I think you have the older style then. Read the back of the can if you still have it. I waited about 15 minutes before installing it again. Funny thing is it started up the first time then kinda stalled out 15 minutes later when I was checking the coolant level ....thought this was a SAFC problem since I didnt have it hooked up (its getting cleaned off) its been stalling anyways since it hasnt been tuned in a long time.
