Yes, a dirty o r faulty Mass Air Flow MAF sensor can cause engine sputtering, rough idling, and poor fuel efficiency. Many Hilux owners have successfully resolved these issues by cleaning the MAF sensor using a dedicated MAF cleaner spray. If cleaning doesn’t work, replacing the sensor might be necessary. Regular maintenance and ensuring the air filter is clean can help extend the sensor’s life and maintain optimal engine performance. Have you noticed an improvement after cleaning o r replacing yours?
