Don't bother with MAF sensor cleaning, just buy a new one. Go to PartSouq.com or Amayama.com, enter your VIN, then go to Engine->Air Cleaner, find "METER SUB-ASSY, INTAKE AIR FLOW", then buy a new one. If you still have problems with a brand new authentic MAF, then you know your problem is somewhere else.
