do you mind elaborating on how and what you used to clean it.

i WAS gonna do it today but got caught up on the Cowboy game. I bought some throttle body cleaner. Did you use the same stuff for both the MAF and TB?

just wanted to ask since i will probably be doing this tomorrow night

there is a special cleaner specifically for mass air sensors. throttle body cleaner is too strong for the M.A.S.
at most auto parts stores, in their house brand you should be able to pick up a small aerosol can of TB cleaner and
another can of Mass Air Cleaner for less than 8 bucks. just take out your intake piping, spray the little silver sensor inside the
Mass Air housing, and open up the throttle body and spray the crap out of that.

i was told by a fellow tech. at work not to use TB cleaner on M.A.S, but maybe he was mistaken. :santa_undecided:

he is correct. and you should not be using brake/carb clean on a tb.
