Quick help MAF cleaning I'm not sure if this is the right section, but here it goes. I've read 3 different threads about cleaning the MAF. I have CRC QD Electronic Cleaner. Is this OK to spray on it? Also, in each of those threads were basically just a warning to avoid the sensor wires. I understand that, but what exactly do I need to remove to get to the actual MAF on the car. Has anyone found a picture write-up? This is my first time doing this to any of my cars, and I really don't want to **** anything up as this is my only car. Thanks in advance.

thanks for all the help guys, i used the electronics **** i bought. it worked like a charm, and the car pulls way harder now that the airflow is back. my **** looked like a dirty pool filter, haha...
I've taken the clam's apart, and cleaned the wires with alcohol using ear swabs. You have to be careful, obviously, but it works very well. Cleaned the honey comb in soapy water along with the clam shells.
