The MAF is the black part screwed on the metallic intake right behind the air filter box

u dont have to remove all the metallic thing to clean the MAF just the black one - to unplug it, just unplug it lol - DO NOT REMOVE THE MAF AND DRIVE THE CAR, just unplug the wires

If you swap MAF's without resetting the ECU, it's a worthless venture.

On a side note for some of you: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/2493934-post7.html

soaringsc3 trust me it is a very easy procedure - as long as you are doing in the day light, and as long as you played Lego when you were young, you'll take it apart and put it back together in a blink

I can tell you the step by step way to reach these spark plugs if you want

let me know
