Just use carb/brake/throttle body cleaner. I was in k-mart and I picked up a couple cans at like 1.50 each. Just spray it on and brush it with an old toothbrush. Just don't spray the **** all over your sensors. Take off the map it takes like 2 seconds...don't hold it by the TPS while youre cleaning it or you can knock it off calibration then you have to yank out the multimeter and mess around with it.
