I think my maf might have gotten filer oil on it from the K&N. I got a lil overzealous with the spray can lol.
How can i clean it, or what should/could i use rather? I found a spray can of Quick Dry electric components cleaner but am not sure if this will harm it.
I'm pretty sure it will be ok, just don't wanna end up having to buy another MAF.

Go to any parts store and pick up a can of CDC Mass Air flow Cleaner. It runs about $5 and will clean the MAF with no worrys of damage. Just spray it on and let it air dry and you are good to go.

on my old GTP i had a k&n short ram filter and it sucked a lil oil off the filter and it burnt onto the MAF making my check engine light come on i had to spray the maf down with i think it was qnd electonic cleaner, it worked for a while but then the check engine light came back on and wouldnt stay off when i got it turned off.
