If the question is "can you use tuner cleaner to clean the MAF" then in my opinion: NO
Get a recommendation from your favorite auto parts store - then you'll know you're using the right stuff for such a sensitive electronic component.
Yes, you can use CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner to clean the mass air flow (MAF) sensor in your vehicle. This cleaner is specifically formulated to effectively remove dirt and contaminants without damaging the sensor components. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results and ensure the engine is off and cool before application.
The 2002 Lincoln LS mass airflow sensor can be found on the air cleaner housing. The mass airflow sensor will be on the back side of the air cleaner housing.
The 1998 Monte Carlo mass airflow sensor can be found on the air cleaner housing. The mass airflow sensor will be on the right hand side of the air cleaner housing.
Any Mass air flow sensor is in the air intake system usually in the tubing just after the air cleaner.
There is a spray they sale at autoparts stores it'scalled mass air flow sensor cleaner works really good and it's sensor safe.
Carburetor cleaner will do the job.
NO
Must remove the throttle air intake hose from throttle body. Then disconnect the wiring and remove the sensor and spray with mass air flow sensor cleaner.
The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is between the Air Intake Duct (of the Throttle Body) and the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter Housing.....

how do you clean mass air flow sensor on a 1998 Nissan altima? To clean the mass air flow sensor , you need to get a can of CRC mass air flow cleaener frm auto zone, Kragen, Pepboys, Sensor is attached to the tube (next to airfilter). again you need to use mass air flow cleaner ( CRC ). I use this on my ford windstar and Nissan sentra 05 and 95. it runs better after cleaning the mass air flow sensor.
Purchase a can of mass air flow cleaner and follow the directions on the can. Don't try to clean it with anything else!
