    newbe here and learned a hellofalot off this forum...most you guys and girls are prius geniuses and I thank all in advance. I have a 2008 with 75K miles and had it just a short while but love the car. I'm wondering if I can clean the maf sensor with it remaining in the air body using crs maf sensor spray or does it have to be removed? If removed, can the sensor body just be removed?

    Remove the mass airflow sensor from the air cleaner housing to facilitate cleaning. This is quite simple, two screws.
