Cleaning the MAF
#3
I've done it once, although it was somewhat incomplete since I didn't take the MAF out of the tube, only sprayed through the wire grille. I saw a set of security Torx bit sockets at Sears the other day, I might buy that set so I can undo the security torx-head bits and remove the MAF assembly for a much closer/more thorough cleaning.
I noticed a little better overall response. I did do this at the same time as a Throttle Body cleaning, so I can't tell how much of this was due to the MAF cleaning.
As a side note, installing a hyperground kit in my car did result in a mild change in MAF reading according to my OBD-II scantool software. So if you're interested in optimizing things on the MAF sensor, maybe a hyperground kit combined with a MAF cleaning will do you well
