Idle good bad performance

I have a Toyota Tacoma With a four cylinder 2.7 double overhead cam engine. My engine lost power and rough idle. Shop tech told me that it was my mass air flow sensor. Is there a economical way to fix this problem or do I have to buy another part. For my engine it cost $89.00. Thank you in advance for the best tech support on .my problem

 

If it's the maf, you could try cleaning it. Spray brake clean through it. Otherwise get a new one. $89 is pretty damn cheap.

 

Use maf cleaner not brake cleaner. Some break cleaners have harmful chemicals in them, some don't

 

Non-chlorinated brake clean works. However, if there is an actual maf cleaner, that is a safe choice probably.

 

yeah, its difficult sometimes to find non-chlorinated if you dont know what you're looking for. ive accidentally picked it up a few times without realizing it. chlorinated + sensitive parts = no bueno

 

this is what ive always used on the maf i had in my evo. works good

Usually it says in large writing on the can. But even some non chlorinated brake cleaners will leave a residue. Gotta find one that doesn't leave a residue, too. Napa non-chlorinated leaves no residue. Some cheaper brake cleaners will leave residue

 

So for the amateurs which type of cleaner do I use to clean the mass airflow sensor? Also can I get it at autozone?

 

Thanks for all your response.

 

use the maf cleaner in the link i posted earlier. they sell it at autozone, napa, oreillys, checkers etc.

 

Thank You detective Dan. I found it I will let you know how it works
