You can go to any autoparts store and get a can of MAF cleaner just follow directions on can. You can also use rubbing alcohol and q-tips just be careful not to break those wires.

I use the CRC MAF Cleaner too and it does a great job. Evaporates very quickly.

Cleaning is a must if you use a K&N. I think I will be doing this tonight. I would think the electronic connection cleaner (CRC QBD cleaner I think) would work well too since it is alcohol based.

That is true. But if someone happened to just have some around it might save them a trip to the store and some money.
