How to clean Mass Air Flow Sensor and Throttle Body on Infiniti QX80 without LEARNING

This is a how to video. This video will show you how to clean your Mass Air Flow Sensor and throttle body without going through “learning” or “re-learning”. Here are the cleaners I used on this video:
CRC 05110 Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner: amzn.to/2YDoTEU
CRC 05078 Throttle Body and Air-Intake Cleaner: amzn.to/2LFTCNZ
The car in this video is an Infiniti QX80. This is how you clean the MAF Sensor and the Throttle Body on an Infiniti QX80. he first part of this video: We took the car for a drive or spin. The car hesitated a few times and a sure symptom of a dirty mass air flow sensor and a dirty throttle body.
This procedure applies to many FULL size Nissan like Armada - Titan and other Infiniti vehicles
It is best to do this maintenance on a cool engine. Let your car sit for a while 30 to 45 min at least. Best to wait 2 to 3 hours before starting on this project if you can.
Start with removing the Mass Air Flow Sensor aka MAF Sensor. Spray it - clean it to your heart’s content. *Important! Let it dry for 20 minutes or more. The longer the better. 2 hours have elapsed when I did mine (ate lunch and did throttle body job).
Work on your Throttle Body next (while you wait for your MAF Sensor to dry).
*Reminder: Cool Engine only. Spray the CRC Cleaner until clean or to your heart’s content. Then... LET IT DRY!
Then wait a good amount of time 45 minutes or longer before turning your car on.

I would consider this how to a “low risk” as I did not disassemble the throttle body and did everything to avoid the learning process. Having said that, for all of my DIY video, use at your own risk… insert disclaimer here. Make sure you know what you are doing.
I made this video for entertainment purposes only... ok with the intent to help people who likes to save money, take risks, or for those who cannot afford to take their car to a dealership.
**See warnings below!
If you are looking for a video that includes re-learning, relearning or learning… this is NOT it.
A few words of caution! WARNING!
1. DO NOT use any other cleaner! Brake Cleaner, Carburetor Cleaner, Spirits, Alcohol, and other MAY damage your car or expensive auto parts!
2. DO NOT Touch the Throttle Plate aka Butterfly! You will need to go through the headache of “RE-LEARNING”!
3. Sure, you can touch the butterfly or disassemble the throttle body even more and give it a more thorough cleaning (the other side - internal side of the butterfly)… BUT… do you really want to go through learning?
4. Learning, if you are lucky… you just need to do a few steps and time (time duration of learning may take as short as 30 min, 24 hours, or a couple of days)…
5. Learning, if you draw the short stick… your car will not run properly. You will need to go to a dealership to get your car running smoothly again.
6. Better... if you turn off power on all accessories using power (AC, heater, radio, etc...)
7. DO NOT TURN engine. put the car on Accessories mode aka ACC mode only.
8. Half a can? lol... checking if you are paying attention. Read the back of the can for directions. RTFM!
Press the gas pedal and see if the butterfly opens and closes. Best to have WOT when using damp rag (with TB cleaner). This Infiniti QX80's throttle plate does not open when pressing the gas pedal. This car's butterfly only opens by turning acc on and off.
Good luck with your project! I wish you success and I hope this video (and tips in it) helps you out.
Tools used: 10mm socket and flat head screwdriver
Car status: During the unplugging of the mass sensor= battery connected and car is off.
