ANSWER: The MAF sensor is located just behind the air filter in the large air intake tube, it can be cleaned with electronic cleaner, be sure the thin wires inside the opening get cleaned, also clean the throttle body with some throttle body spray cleaner and a brush.

QUESTION: "also clean the throttle body with some throttle body spray cleaner and a brush."
OK ,now where is that located?I used electric parts cleaner on the MAF,is there a special "throttle body spray"?
AnswerAny autoparts store should have it, carburetor cleaner is the same thing, remove the large air intake hose that comes from the air cleaner,disconnect it at the other end, the throttle body opening becomes visible, you can see the throttle plate inside, manually open the plate by moving throttle lever then clean the inside of the opening.
