On a side note, be sure to know that cleaning an extremely dirty MAF can require a tune change if it was tuned while it was dirty. I ran into this problem earlier this year. I had my MAF transfer curve dialed in almost perfect and then I cleaned my MAF (actuall small chunks of black stuff came off of the sensor wires). After cleaning it, my curve was waaaaay off.
Thanks for the great tip!
Luckily, my dyno tune was done with a clean MAF. Probably why its idling like crap now....not so clean anymore.....
