cleaning the throttle body

are there any special cleaning agents that I should use, and what care should be taken ?


also what should be used to clean the MAF sensor in the air intake line ? reason I ask is I have a K&N filter and there is oil all down the intake line.

Throttle body and intake cleaner, Don't use carb cleaner it destroys the coating in the intake and TB that prevent a carbon build up.


Hope this helps

I used a bottle that was labeled carb/throttle body cleaner... on the back it was stated safe for 'teflon coated throttle bodies'
