MAF question
in attempting to clean my MAF sensor over the weekend, i pulled up the link on 4x4 wire:
http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/mainte...tenancep5.html
ok, am i a total retard or am i missing something? my MAF sensor doesn't look like the pictures shown on the link at all. Mine seems to be encompassed inside of a black box that i think said Denso on it. i unplugged the sensor, but there weren't 2 screws to detach the MAF. did i miss something or is there another type of MAF that i may have? it's a 97 SR5 4x4and any suggestions would be great.

Looks like you have the older style MAF sensor. It is completley enclosed in and integrated with the tube. You need to take off the clamp holding the intake tube to the MAF (the metal clamp with a screw in it between the MAF and throttle body)and then disconnect the MAF tube from the air box.

any chance that spraying that electrical connection cleaner through the air filter box and forcing it into my goofy MAF casing would clean it? i'm thinking the motor would need to be running so it would pull that stuff through there but i'm not sure if it would damage anything by doing it that way?? just a thought.

Here's the cleaning process your looking for on a 96-98 MAF:
