Cleaning MAF sensor?

You can pick up a can of aerosol MAF cleaner at most auto parts stores. Just spray it on there and let it dry. Don't touch the filament as it

^ This.

It's only 4 little bolts to unscrew from your air intake tubes to remove your MAFs and clean them, it's a very easy process. I do mine at every oil change just in case. Just hose them down with cleaner from all angles, let it drip/air dry (which happens very quickly, within a few minutes tops).

I use this stuff from my local store: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/CRC0/05110.oap
