How do you clean the LSJ mass air flow sensor?
I've used the search tool for threads regarding cleaning the MAF, but I've found nothing specific enough in regards to how to actually clean it. I want to know what I'm supposed to be doing before I start messing with stuff on the car.
My car is having a problem going into limp mode under hard acceleration. I got the code scanned and it was related to the MAF, though I didn't bother to remember the exact code.
The most basic solution is to clean the MAF. Which is simple in theory. Get a can of CRC MAF Cleaner and spray the **** out of it.
Problem is, most MAFs look like this, and you spray it into the cylindrical part:
However, when I google what the LSJ MAF looks like, it apparently looks like this:
So, what am I doing exactly? Which part of this needs cleaning, and where am I directing my spray?

Just pull the sensor out and saturate the opening in short bursts. The can says like 10 times then just let it dry. It evaporates quickly so after like a minute it will be dry.
