Default Anyone Clean Their MAF???

I've heard some talk about this, and I wondered if it actually works. I think there's a lot of us that run a K&N or oiled filters that could benefit from this.
How did you do it? What were the results? Thanks.

Go buy some electronic parts cleaner. Take the MAF off and spray the screen and filaments. Dont douse the hell out of it and dont mess the filaments. Nice black stuff will run off of it.

I always just take it loose and spray the little wires with a good shot of spray carb cleaner. If you use carb cleaner be sure to not get the kind with lubricant. Or you can use spray electrical cleaner too.

What he said ^^^^^^^^^

Get the NON-OIL electrical parts cleaner. Any lubricate can give false readings on the resistor. Radio Shack has some. Don't use a brush on it either.
