I've heard of O2's being cleaned with a torch but not with any kind of chemical or liquid cleaner.

i cleaned my IAC and some electrical connections with that CRC MAF cleaner. i figure if it doesn't hurt something as delicate as a MAF sensor, it should be alright.

I bought a $10 propane torch from Lowes, put the O2 sensor in a vice and hit all 4 sides and the top for 2 minutes a piece. Cleaned it up real good. Do NOT touch the sensor for a 1/2 hour afterwards, let it cool down.
