Anybody know where I would be able to get some of that electronic contact cleaner?

The Source (formerly RadioShack)?

Make sure it does not affect plastic. I had that once and power windows switch crumbled like a cookie. :(

I will give CT a try. I need that stuff to clean my 02 sensor and my MAF.

How does your MAF get dirty when there's "suppose" to be a filter on your intake?

WTF, I thought this post was about EYE CONTACTS.

Hmm..I am not quite sure actually, but since I have the vibrant exhaust with the hi-flow cat, I am assuming that the 02 sensor MAY be dirty which is what is causing my CEL to come on and off. Its either that or the 02 sensor its on the way out, but I figure I would just give it a try and clean it before I go ahead and buy a new one. And I have also heard members on the US forum clean their MAF, with this stuff, so I figured if I was going to buy it I might as well clean it too.

go get your CEL read with a code reader. then you'll know the exact cause.

I borrowed a buddy's code reader and it came out as P0140. I actually had another thread in the "under the hood" section asking people about the code, so I think I have a solid idea of what I need to do. I just want to try out this cleaner, before I decide to replace the 02 sensor
