Before I go starting to replace )2 sensors, I want to clean the Mass Airflow Sensor. Is there a how to anywhere on this? I'm not terribly mechanically inclined.

Thanks!

Go to your local parts store and buy air mass meter cleaner.
Spray the sensor inside and out liberally. Do not use any brushes or scrapers. Just use the spray. Let it dry totally and re-assemble.

Exactly^

But make sure you ONLY use the MAF cleaner, do not use carb cleaner or anything like that.

I have used both brake cleaner and throttle body cleaner before and had great results. 2+ mpg increase. My mechanic told me to use those b/c they work the same and are cheaper.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a DIY to remove the Mass Airflow sensor?

I want to make sure I'm pulling the right parts out

you dont HAVE to remove the sensor, just remove the MAF assy...and spray away.

Today, I removed the air cleaner and intake pipe to the throttle body
and sprayed it all with throttle body cleaner.

No big deal. However, when I was cleaning the throttle body plate,
I could not easily hold the plate open so I wedged a screw driver handle
into the opening.

When I finished spraying, I removed the screw driver and wiped out
the valve bady as best I could reach.

Then I saw that this solvent had badly frosted the plastic handle.

Some of the over spray also frosted the plastic lens on my new
LED flashlight. I am most certainly glad I never got any on my eye glasses as they are also plastic.

The point of all this is to watch where and what you spray with this solvent. My screw driver is no big deal but if I had to replace a pair of
glasses it would have been.

I should have known better but was in a hurry.
