MAF sensor maintanence

Any suggestion on MAF sensor maintenance?
Should it be done? If so, what's the best way to do it?
Thanks in advanced!

Thats about all you need. Maybe once or twice a year you need to spray the wires down to get any deposits off. Deposits will act as an insulator, and cause the MAF to underreport the airflow.

BTW, in your sig it says that you have a TBI car. I assume that this is for another with a MAF? TBIs just have a MAP sensor, which never needs any sort of maintenance.
