Looks scary. Knowing how fragile those things are, running any fluid by it would be a little iffy. I guess if you have a problem narrowed down to the MAFS, you really got nothing to loose.
Has any maxima owners tried this?

I took my MAF out, blasted it with electrical parts cleaner, a fluid that doesn't leave any residue. There was just some black carbon on the screen and some inside, not much else. Polished up the screen so it shine gold. Put it back. Done.
Last time I actually saw my MAF was 80K miles ago.

Thats a pretty strange way to clean a MAF sensor. Air intake cleaner sprayed onto the sensor works perfectly. Just one squirt and it's clean. It dries instantly too. I'd imagain because it's called Air Intake Cleaner, that it's made for most everything in the Air Intake System on cars. Electrical parts cleaner is also an excellent choice.
