Buy this at any local autoparts store:

Make sure vehicle is OFF, and key not in ignition. You do NOT need to disconnect battery unless you really want to be safe.
Then remove the clamp that holds the air intake tube to the air box. (the air box is the thing that sits above your air filter. Once you have removed the air intake tube from the air box you can un-do the clips that hold the air box down and un-do the electrical connections for the Mass Air Flow Sensor.
Once the air box/MAF has been removed you should be able to spray the cleaner on the MAF without removing it from the air box, DO NOT DIRECTLY TOUCH THE SENSOR just spray a few times and let it air dry for 5 mins. IF you cannot get a good shot at the sensor whilst it is mounted in the air box you can carefully remove it from the air box but you will require a T-10 or T-15 (If memory serves) TAMPER PROOF Torx bit.
Good luck and Hopefully I helped.

I did this write up awhile ago. It's for a 3.0 V6 but you should be able to get the general idea what to do.
