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.![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

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.
