ok not thinking i got a can of carb cleaner instead of throttle body cleaner it says not recomended for fuel injection but will reallt hurt the motor.. really what im asking can i use it on my throttle body and not have it cause problems

 

carb cleaner will work perfectly fine to clean out the sludge from the throttle body.

 

Carb cleaner is a bit harsher than throttle body cleaner but you should be ok. Just don't use Brake cleaner that'll ruin your day.

 

and try to avoid contact directly with any plastic parts. but you'll be fine

 

Doesn't the TB have a coating on it to help with it keeping clean and with icing?

 

Some throttle bodies do. Don't think anything used on our cars did, though.

Carburetor cleaner isn't always free of chemicals that will contaminate or damage sensors, unless labelled "sensor safe".

 

i used it and it didt hurt anything didt make much of a noticeable difference

 

And I wouldn't use it on the MAF - get a can of MAF cleaner for that.

 

on the older systems i believe ford is the only one to use a coating on the throttle plates, at least i don't recall ever seeing a warning label on any other cars, not until you get into the throttle by wire systems anyway.
a coated ford TB will coke up just as bad and just as fast as one that isn't coated.
the absolute best throttle body cleaner i have ever seen is made by BG.

occasionally i've used MAF cleaner, but its never really impressed me. most of the time i just used starting fluid with a straw and its worked fine.
i've never used BG maf cleaner. i know most of the rest of BG's products work great, so their maf cleaner could very well work better than starting fluid.
