Thanks guys. $168 is a great price ! Just to update you, here's what i've discovered so far:

response has been about 50/50: cleaning vs replacing, in terms of success. but there is clearly no reason not to try cleaning first.

when driving the car with the MAF disconnected, here is what i discovered: runs much better when it's cold, runs much worse when it's hot. the reverse of its behavior when it's connected.

some of you might have noticed this car was for sale. it sold today for $7200 with just 58k miles and a clean bill of health except for the MAF and needing new brakes in front. a crazy low price, but there seems to be limited demand in this economy. Happy New Year all !
