Cleaning TB Senors
Can I use some MAF cleaner on the TB sensors? I'm going to have it removed from the intake and wanted to take them out and really clean everything good.

Whats a TB sensor?
Do you mean the IAC and TPS? If so, you can spray the hell out of them with MAF cleaner if you want to. But I wouldn't take the IAC apart, just spray it and put it back.
Spray the IAT sensor in the lid too. I do that every few months.
Sea Foam "spray" is good for cleaning sensors too.

Ahhh come on man don't give me a hard time! I was on my lunch break and wanted to get it posted real quick is all. Just meant the senors that mount to the TB.
I just planned on unbolting them from the TB and spraying the heck out of them. Just wanted to make sure its safe which sounds like it should be.
Thanks again for your help LS6427
Oh since I have MAF cleaner now, prob just use that.

Did you try google? "LS1 Throttle Body Sensor" immediately yields two useful links:

If you google "Clean IAC" you'll get lots of videos and sites talking about how to clean them.
