Ok, since it's never been cleaned, suggest that you do that; remove it, get some CRC MAF cleaner, spray it thoroughly, and if you have shop-air use it, backing way off from the MAF unit to blow dry. If you don't, just let it dry . . .won't take long.

Do NOT try to touch-it or use a brush for the H/W (LH) version, you could break it. It's just a very thin wire suspended inside the center.

I'll bet it will change its response for the better . . .
