Try and Office supply store - Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, ect ect ect......

This has me thinking, nobody brought this up in my "maintence questions" thread a few weeks back, WTH!!! Alright I'll let you guys off the hook this time but next time.........

Whats with the IAC Valve??? Isn't there some cleaning procedure for this thing to??

I've got 28k on mine so it probably wouldn't be a bad idea along with disconecting my EGR...................Oh yeh I almost forgot I purchaced a clean burning V10, I guess I can scrap the EGR thing, lol lol lol!!!!!!!!!

Many auto parts houses carry electrical contact cleaner. Also most Radio Shack will have it.

I use B12 chem tool a lot for items like the IAC. Good carb cleaner works just fine also. I try not to use brake cleaner at all in the engine compartment as it is damned hard on plastic and rubber stuff.

how about throttle body and air intake cleaner? That is what the guys at autozone told me to get. I have a friend that tells me not to spray it though. He says I'll mess it up. Could you guys tell me where exactly what you are spraying and not?

We're talking about the little hair-like detectors on the MAF sensor. The image below may not look like the one you have. It's the small shiny wires at the top of the image.
