I took manny's advice and picked up a can of electrical connection spray from the local auto parts store (I never knew such a product existed). So, I remove the MAS and clean the entire insides out with the cleaner. Again, there was significant oil on the sensors etc. I also wiped out the air tube as far as I could to soak up any residual oil. Reconnected and moved onto my next project - the air intake.

I remove the top cover and noticed the top bottom portrion with visible signs of oil. I proceeded to disassemble the unit and discover that the foam filter meant to trap crank case blow-by (?) was soaked in oil! Almost to the point of dripping. I tried to clean the foam but it just fell apart in my hands (I am assuming that the dealer stocks this replacement). For now I made a make-shift filter until Monday. Reassembled and made a visual inspection of the air intake tube to the supercharger. Oily!!!!!! I wiped what I could until I can take the entire tube out for a proper cleaning.

So from what I can gather; after many miles (I have 98000 mi) the filter became saturated and then passed on the excess it could not handle into the supercharger air-intake, out the other end, through the air ducting making its way to the MAS. (I guess that is possible due to the high volume of air the supercharger is capable of mustering).

I then take it out for a drive - WOW! what a differance! I drove it pretty hard and only once did it kick off the supercharger (I think the rev limiter kicked in). I don't think i'll drive it that hard normally. I'll give it a few days and report back on it's performance.

No one has really said it, but I get the impression that the MAS is VERY sensitive and does not handle contaminats well. Maybe for all those that have a hesitation problem this should be something you look at???

I'll report back in a few days.
Thanks all
