I was just looking at a set of Craftsman and I did see that you can buy singles. They aren't too bad for the set and I can get a discount on Craftsman tools through my employer so I will just buy a set. They will even payroll deduct them for us along with the discount.

I do not know what the service interval should be. I am at 68,000 and want to do mine just to be sure that there aren't problems and that I haven't plugged it full of soot because of my chip.

Mine was at 79K when I pulled it off and it was plugged pretty good. I was planning on checking it again around 130K

actually not yet, I tried cleaning it today and forget it, the tube actually had a crack almost all the way around and the sensor was so packed I'm just gonna replace the sensor with a new from ebay. My mpg has increased with the new fuel pump from 11.5 to 14.3mpg ( 4mi city and 4mi highway everyday). almost an exact half and half everyday from home to work. If everyone has seen an increase in mileage with this cleaning I cant wait to see the results and post!

Well, I read this post and got around to looking at mine today. The tube was not to bad, the sensor was packed as well as the adapter piece the sensor goes into. That piece was packed solid! cleaned it out and put on the new sensor I had ordered from Ebay about a month ago, and my throttle seems more responsive.

I don't know if this helps but I unplugged mine at the valve itself and haven't had any problems or change in mileage. I did notice the stall I had when I would try to shoot into heavy traffic is gone.
