Take the entire induction system apart from the filter box to the Throttle Body. Clean the MAF with MAF cleaner and then clean the throttle body BLADE
Put it all back together and make SURE all the ducting is 100% sealed up so NO unmetered air gets in.
Once your done, you will be certain ALL is CLEAN...

Sealing is huge; I had a very slight idle issue when warm, and it turned out that the flex coupling between the bellow and TB was loose, and the snap clamp even looser. Sealed it up with some black RTV and reclamped. Idles like a stone.

At Walmart, I recently purchased a set of small spray cans of throttle body cleaner and MAF cleaner from CRC. Cost about $8. I'm going to take my complete intake apart and clean everything, I have a Callaway Honker.
