My AFM did the same thing just after my conversion and from then on I made it a habit to spray it every 3 months, it lasted about 5 more years before the plug died and I had to replace it, it's about the only thing on my car that has let me down.
This morning I got some foaming air intake cleaner would I be able to use that or would the contact cleaner be better ? and if It's just a bit of dirt causing the problem that would be great but knowing my luck there will be other issues.
