Here is how to clean and replace the MAF sensor. This will apply to other civics as well but you don’t have to remove the airbox on certain models. Make sure the sensor is 100% dry before reinstalling.

My air box is fastened at the back with a large plastic rivet type of device that makes it non removeable and I am finding more and more non owner issues for maintenance on my Honda now. Issues purposely done to keep you from doing your own. Brakes, battery, now I cant take the MAF sensor out to clean it or replace it and the Honda dealer claims the problem with my car is a worn clutch that slips at high RPM. The solution, they claim is to replace a worn clutch for $2000. Sorry guys, nice try but my clutch does NOT slip. I happen to be an Industrial Millwright Mechanic who knows when a clutch slips etc. I pity the other poor people who get sucked in to buying a new clutch when all that is wrong is a MAF sensor.
I'm actually a little surprised on the amount of things that needed to be removed, usually working on the Civic is a breeze and requires 0 tedious work like putting hoses back. Cleaning the MAF was easier on my BMW than this but the civics doesn't seem too bad. I'm sure it could be worse
