My car was running rough with an intermittant misfire.
I changed the plug wires and sprayed them thinking it might be damp.
I have since purchased some electrical contact cleaner and sprayed the wires inside the mass airflow sensor.
The car drives better and after an initial sputter, the car drivers perfectly but the "Check engine light" is still on.
Should cleaning the wires in the sensor make the light go out.
Other than an ABS light also on there appears to be nothing else wrong with the car. Please help.
