Can I clean the MAF? If I can what can I use and how would I go about cleaning it? Could I change out the computer for one from a 2001 with the 4.6 and auto tranny? If I did would I get more power or what?

To clean the MAF, you need to have a security torx bit.

Okay, so wiggle the sucker out of the housing, remove the electronics. Use either brake cleaner in a spray can or electric motor cleaner. Anything that will not leave a film on it.

Shoot the wire end it to clean it. Should be really silver there. Do NOT damage it. let it dry and then reassemble.

Good question on the computer. I would like to know.
