Cleaning Maf
couldn't really find much on this..
from what i gather my 97 uses a hotwire maf which is safe to clean , unlike the Karaman Vortex maf's in the older SC's?
my maf looks like this though, i don't see anyways to take it apart like most that have screws?
any tips or suggestions?
i'm getting a p0171 lean code, fuel filter is new...
I've read this code if fairly common on cars with dirty maf..

if you get just p0171, then it is not the maf. You have a vacuum leak somewhere. Most likely the pcv valve. Or one or more of your fuel injectors are clogged or dirty.

I cleaned it already no luck, i replaced soooo many parts and finally found out what it was..
the neck of my supra TT fuel pump that the fuel line slides onto was cracked so it wasn't able to pressurize the fuel line enough i guess.. basically like drinking through a straw with a hole on it.
put another pump in it, runs mint now thankfully.
