Default MAF Cleaning...............

Whats the best way to do this. I'm putting in a new cai and figure this is the time to do it. I'm not even sure all of the parts of the MAF. Is it the screen and that little plastic peice surrounding it? And how do i go about doing it? Where would I look specifically for build-up, and what do I use, a q-tip or something?

Also is there anything extremely delicate to look out for?

Well no there isnt really extremely delicate to look out for. Its fairly easy to take it off.Here is a thread on HOW TO INSTALL A CAI. This will help u get it off and just make sure u put the stuff back same way u took them off. Yeah q tips are a good idea.

yea there is, if he messes up that tiny little wire w/ the sensor then he has to buy a new one. as long as your careful though youll be fine.

they make mass air flow sensor cleaner it just a little like aerosol type can its like three bucks it comes out kinda liquidy at times but it evaporates extremely fast. the MAf is the large silver piece between that big box on the stock intake. when you get it out it looks silver and like an double open ended canister. make sure you get the little sensor plugged back in good and the vacuum on very tight when you get the new one on good luck. every time you change your filter or clean underneath the hood it is a good idea to clean the MAF.
