I can't say categorically, but I sure would not!

I wouldn't think it good for the throttle body, intake, fuel injectors, cylinders and electronics to have brake cleaner sprayed on / in them.

Do NOT use plain old carb cleaner or the like - ask at the parts store for the right kind of cleaner to use in order to avoid damaging this very expensive sensor. CRC makes a product specificly for your MAF sensor. DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE.

Where is the maf sensor on a Lincoln mark viii?

The mass air flow sensor on a Mark VIII is located just after the air filter in the air filter enclosure. BE VERY CAREFUL when handling this item. If you take the air filter box out to expose the maf sensor, do not touch the sensor with anything, there are two very tiny short wires that are exposed. If you want to clean the maf sensor, there is a specific cleaner to be used on this part. DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER OR THROTTLE BODY CLEANER, you WILL cause expensive damage to the sensor.
