    I figured I better do some serious cleaning of my throttle body and MAF since I don't know if it has ever been done but I got everything off and this dirty mess is what i found. There seems to be a bit of oil residue or something on the Airfilter side of the TB. With it being so gross, I figured I would pull the IAC off the bottom of the TB and it was seriously goopy. Can I use the TB cleaner on the IAC or is there something there that would be hurt by it? Thankful I am doing the cleaning now because it is dirty beyond what I had expected. Any other input would be great because I am sitting on the living room floor cleaning it all now.

    I would think TB spray would be ok, but I don't know if those parts were designed to be in contact with gasoline or those gallon buckets of carb. cleaning dip, if you do just don't let them sit in it for too long. Good luck :D
