EVO Intake Box and MAF

Well, I sprayed down the MAF with brake cleaner that said "no residue". Let it dry, reinstalled it, cleared the codes with my new handy dandy ODB II scannerĂ¢â‚¬Â¦..woot.
And before I get out of the garage the codes are back...ohh no!!
So, what is the proper way to clean the MAF? What part if it needs the cleaning?

What code are you getting. It may not even be MAF related.

The read says low voltage from MAF.

You should take a reading BEFORE cleaning and AFTER so you can see a change. I have never used brake cleaner; only GUNK, carb cleaner and electronic spray cleaner. All brought the sensor back to new like readings.

Clean the terminals on the maf plug and the maf sensor, then buy "Stabilant 22A" from the nearest VW/Audi dealer and apply it to the terminals, this may help as it enhances the contacts in the connection. A code of this sort could be caused by corrosion or a poor connection.

Well after new MAF and a code reset with my new ODB II scanner, back on the road...woot.
This weekend I will experiment with the right types of cleaner and see what happens with the old MAF.
Thanks everyone for your input.
