ya you can take the map sensor off and spray in the hole.. blow it out before you put back.. break the screw with a needle nose visegrip they are easy to strip. don;t use carb cleaner.. use throttle body cleaner.. if it was the same it would be called carb/throttle body cleaner!

might also be an idea to remove the valve cover to intake pipe to stop this oil crap getting in your throttle?

first spray the t/b cleaner in the throttle, get an old toothbrush, open the throttle and scrub inside and on the throttle plate aswell, then once done that, start the car in a well ventilated area, and spray the rest of the t/b cleaner in while running and opening the throttle just a little

you mean the throttle body cleaner into the intake manifold would that be safe to do.

also its best to start to spray the rest of the can in, when the engine is at optimal engine temp.
