Possible to clean wideband sensor?

[v8s_are_slow]

Just wondering cause I just bought a new sensor but my dang maf wasn't getting a signal from the translator and was running rich. And being that these things aren't all that cheap, I'd like to still be able to use it. I've heard of a torch or wire brush but will those work on wideband sensors as well??? Seems to be working properly but dunno if it's reading accurately right now or not. Thanks.

NO, all cleaners and csolvents will ruin the sensor.. use a rag to wipe it off and then blow it out with compressed air after it's been cool for a while. That's the best you're gona get for cleaning a WB o2

Gimme $80-90 and I'll be able to buy it. I just paid the money for this one. Can't afford another one right now.

Thanks for the info.
