When I want to clean the MAF sensor on my 2000 X do i have to completely take apart the intake in that area like my Chilton's says or can I just remove the 2 screws which appear to hold it in there?

Thanks,

Just the two screws and disconnect the wire harness. The sensor will lift right out of the intake, no need to do anymore disassembly.

Yes, just the 2 screws. If you want to be extra careful and not mess with the very fragile sensor wire, you can get a can of CRC MAF cleaner spray that works very well without scrubbing.

Cool, that's what i thought about the 2 screws. I plan on grabbing a can of cleaner and cleaning it up since I haven't done it...EVER...and I have 150K on the truck-LOL

I figure it's about time.

Napa auto part sells some good MAF cleaner.

The CSR works well.
