This past December we went and bought security Torx and cleaned our MAF sensor with the aerosol MAF cleaner, as well as replaced the IAC on our 3.0 Escape.

Cleaning the MAF allowed the throttle to be a bit more responsive, and the IAC replacement cured an occasional hard start and stalling problem in cold weather.

We have not noticed any MPG gains since doing this, but is good maintenance to do if its never been done.
