Yes, there are two ways to do it, the hard way #1 and the easy way #2
1. The first time I lifted the cover to and removed the air filter. At the
back end of that cover is a rigid tube, about 2 1/2" in diameter, this
connected to a rubber tube. Within the rigid tube resides the MAF sensor.
I disconnected the electrical connection at the top of the rigid tube and
disconnected that tube from the flexible tube by loosening the hose clamp, I
then removed the sensor from inside the rigid tube. None of this very difficult, all easy to access. I then
sprayed it liberally with Heavy Duty Component Cleaner Degreaser,
non-residue. which I obtained at RadioShack. The brand on this was GC
Electronics Series II. There are many of these contact cleaners available,
but the key is the "non-residue" part since obviously residue is what we are
trying to get rid of.
The results were instant and amazing, gone was my 4000 rpm gulp.
2. I really don't think I had to do everything involved in #1 above, what I
am doing now, once a month, is simply lifting the air filter cover, removing
the filter, and with a small plastic spray tube attached to the cleaner,
hosing down the MAF sensor.... seems to work just fine and can be
accomplished in just a few minutes.

current running through this part. Maybe that's why they get dirty so fast. You know like static electricity.
