Use NO RESIDUE CRC Electrical contact cleaner, does wonders. It's like $5 at advance. DO NOT USE throttle body or brake cleaner as they WILL LEAVE A RESIDUE that throws the readings off and most likely RUIN your MAF.

 

I've heard the vinegar trick works, but have not done it myself.

Everything I have read says don't use brake cleaner or carb cleaner cause it cleans the film off the sensors that is put there as a portection. I recommend Synpower Throttle Body Cleaner that is made by Valvoline. It says it is safe for all sensors including oxygen sensors. (Another problem with carb/brake cleaner when burned is the damage to the O2 sensor.
