Question Sensor Cleaning

I've been reading a lot in the Haynes manual today and have located all the necessary sensors and such that were all described.
One thing seem to never come up in the manual. Cleaning. How do you clean the MAFS, Throttle body, TPS, Throttle plate, IATS and PCV Valve?
I know that in my past experience, though limited as it may be, has shown me one thing to be true... if you're hasty and go at it wrong you really F**** things up.

So... I need to be moved please do so, but feel free to help out.

Thanks again.

Dutch

Carb cleaner works int he throttlebody, they do make a specific spray for it.

I've been told not to use carb cleaner in the throttle body as they make specific TB cleaner instead.

And do not get either carb cleaner or throttle body cleaner into the TPS. In fact usually a good idea to remove the TPS prior to cleaning the throttle body just for that reason. The solvents in the cleaner will attack the plastic and electronics inside the TPS.
