electronic throttle control light on

i took it to a mechanic, he just told me to sprayed some carb cleaner on the throttle body and butterfly vavle, and to wipe it with a rag, and charged me $36. He did not hook a computer to it, to diagnose. and he said if the light comes on again to buy a new throttle body... $700 ****ing dollars. i found out i can just buy the sensor for $100 but before that im thinking of buying throttle body sprayer taking off the throttle body replace the gasket, and hope this fixes my problem. i forgot to change my air filter btw. i know im a *******. any comments are appreciated
