It might help fuel economy but I'm not sure, I would use carb cleaner or seafoam to clean it.

They make the spray just for the maf. Its made by crc and you can buy it at advance auto parts. Autozone doesn't sell it at my local store.

yep i found some electric contact cleaner. worked great (no more dtc's)
by the way using carb cleaner might not be to smart those fillements burn at like 200c so if that carb cleaner didnt evaporate before you fired it up... good by inlet tube. thanks for the help guys
