I had the exact MAF issues for 6 months. Changed the MAF 3x and then the prob went away when I tossed my 55k intake with k&n’s. Maybe just a coincidence, maybe the intake wasn’t sitting snug.....

I know theres alot of threads out there about this but i just want to bash this company real quick and say F@$% THEM, i bought there air filters, had them in my car for less than 100 miles. Noticed a little idle problems so i switched back to paper. Today i went for a drive ( with the paper filters ) i came to a stop and my car started to rattle and all of the warning lights came on, i quickly pressed on the gas and zoomed home afraid of stalling, right when i was about to turn the car of the CEL came on. Im almost positive its because of my MAF sensor, i have the spray but cant get the damn thing off, would it be okay for me to spray it without taking it off? Im really pissed off, i had them on for less than 100 miles, they even made a video "proving" that oil doesn't get into the system, they are f@#$ing lying out their asses. I really believed them and shouldnt have. I found some MAFs from bosch for 80 bucks, should i just replace it? And will my CEL go off or do i have to delete the code.

You should not have to remove the MAF to clean the sensor. If you look into the MAF you will see a small seemingly glass enclosed reddish device toward the driver side. I believe that is the sensor and you can spray it through the screen. The MAF cleaner spray evaporates pretty quickly. Give it a couple shots of spray. The sensor should look clear and you should be able to see the red (I think) internal device through the clear covering. Wait a couple minutes and give it a couple more shots. I also spray the MAF sensor at each oil change.
