Page 6 shows the location. You need a spray can of Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner. CRC makes one.

If you get the CRC brand the detailed instructions are on the can. You have to remove the MAF 1st.

I just took the intake tube off and pulled up on the maf till I could get a good shot at the element inside.Its a thin wire mounted vertically that has a thermistor in the center.I sprayed through the screen that's there.Worked well.

1) could be any number of things and cleaning the MAF shouldn't hurt2) sounds like the idle speed is staying high at times?3) that's normal/good, as the fuel system is pressurized
