Hey Bernd,
Thanks for your response. So what your saying is I can remove the TPS and
the MAP sensors but they themselves do not have to be cleaned with the spray
TB/Carb cleaner, just the ports in the TB that they connect to? I
understand about the IAC, it needs a little more careful cleaning :-)
Thanks Again
Jay
