Cleaning a MAF sensor
I have to clean my Blackwing next weekend and figured that would be a good time to clean my MAF sensor (if it's posible). Has anyone done that, and if so how?? Or am I better off just forgetting it??

I have read that the only effective and safe way to clean it is with electrical contact cleaner. Since the wire is very delicate, touching it was not recommended (as I recall). Remember to oil the filter lightly so as to avoid problems with drivability due to an oil-coated MAF wire.
