Will that clean the MAF sesnor or is that a bad idea? While I have it open I thought I would do that. I assume it is the tubing with the black piece on it that says "air flow." Thanks , sorry if dumb question but I don't have any alcohol handy.

to clean the MAF I vote to do it right...

Go to NAPA and buy the right size tamper resistant torx (T20 I think) for like $2.50, buy some rubbing alcohome for $1 and take it out and clena it up. I used about a dozen q-tips...

Took all of 5 minutes.

You don't want to risk anything creating more of a deposit on the wires.
 
Good explanation Chris.... that's exactly how I did mine as I didn't want to risk any residue building up on the wire. Also, that wire is very fragile and you do not want to break it. Be delicate and steady with your hand and take your time, it will save you a lot of money if you don't break the wire.
