Hm. I know Toyota isn't the best about their MAF sensors getting crud on them (3.4 v6 anyone?), but I was dubious of this. I may have to try it. I expect it's even more pronounced when you have a high-flow air filter with oil in it.

I've got a K&N and when I took out the MAF, not only was the intake tube clean and dry, the MAF sensor didn't look dirty at all. I still gave it a shot of cleaner and it does seem as if the engine runs slighty better. Could be a placebo effect though.
