I don't know what the difference is. I just used the throttle body cleaner and it worked great for me.
Have Fun

actually the thing I used was labeled carb cleaner / throttle body cleaner. So I was guessing it was the same thing. Worked fine for me. No warning lights or anything, and got rid of all the carbon deposits inside.

You'll want to use throttle body cleaner. Carb cleaner is more harsh on the sensors around the TB because it is formulated to remove heavy varnishes found in carburetors.

I suppose carb cleaner is more potent than TB cleaner, but I used it on my TB & my MAF. No problems here. Warning: results may very.
