TPS sensor

The throttle position sensor on my Tacoma is throwing a check engin light. Should I try to clean it before I spend $100. If so with what some contact cleaner or sea foam?

I would use the contact cleaner. Of all the years of working on cars it seems like the foreign cars MAF's just plain die for some reason; and the american cars can be cleaned and just keep on truckin'. I hope that it is under warranty for your wallets sake!
