thanks coolbreeze, I'm gonna give that a try this weekend. So should i use brake cleaner on the IAC or will throttle body cleaner be fine?

When cleaning the TB in the past, I followed the directions on the can of TB cleaner. it said run engine, spray for 10 sec while working TB, wait 10 sec w/ engine still running not to overheat cats, and repeat till entire TB cleaner aersol can is empty. That seemed like a lot of cleaner to use so I only use like 1/5 of a can. but I do notice that the TB will get a little gummed up after about 6 to 7k miles. Will I get better results if I remove the TB and clean it in a different manner? For the record, all parts are original w/ 118k+ on them. Almost positive IAC and MAF have never been cleaned or removed!
