Hi, I've a problem with my car, it's a petrol 1.0 12v 1999 and is loosing power with a bigger gear on and when that happen the motor light turn on.
I already read that that problem can be cause by a malfunction of the MAF or EGR, so I'm trying to see if it's possible repair that before buy new ones.
I bought a wynns egr petrol cleaner and I know that I've to spray that into the air sistem but my question is, I have to open the air sistem to spray the can into, before or after the MAF?

There's anyone that can help? I'm pretty new at this.

Thanks

after the maf, mafs are known to fail if they get wet at all

tbh I find they don't normally take to a clean and its easier to block it off all together

Can I just remove the maf and connect the air filter directly?

If you want yeah or for the time it will take just spray it straight down the throttle body

Finally i got time to try to rescue my car that I believed that he was good just to scrap.
I change the air filter, add some motor oil "cleaner", a petrol additive and the Wynns egr cleaner throw the air sistem...
I've been driving now so much better, the diference is incredible, this product from Wynns is £10 but is very well worth it.
My engine light still goes on sometimes when I'm in 5 gear and I press the accelerator to much, but is manageable. But this light used to go on any time in any gear and every time that that happened i used to lost a lot of power, was almost impossible to go uphill, now is so much better and especially in the first 3 gears I have a lot more power. Even the engine sounds better.
I think this product don't make any miracle but is so well worth it.
