There wasn't much junk built up on the sensor itself, but the wiring connection was a bit dirty. I sprayed the sensor with carb cleaner and cleaned the electrical contacts. Can't say which did the most good but my fuel economy has improved and the car feels smoother (this could be placebo, but the fuel economy is real).

Default Hmmm... I need a bit of help.

Is it what I think the throttle position sensor is? Or the ISV thing? I cleaned my ISV thing and it helped my idle studdering problems.

That was a while ago.
