Morning, been googling but is there a definitive guide on how to clean each of the sensors? I submerged the TPS and ICV in carb cleaner yesterday, but what about the others?
Thanks

Surely someone has cleaned one if not all?

Which sensors are you worried about? This is an MPi right?
The inlet air can be wiped with a soft cloth, and the coolant temperature sensor is in a metal jacket, so not much to do apart from rub off any crud build up. Crank sensor likewise wipe down.
The IACV build up is at the "nose" end and you can normally separate them to clean this part.
Not sure that I would submerge the TPS in carb cleaner as this could attack the track.

Thanks for the response. When I took the TPS and ICV off they were filthy, so I'm guessing the same will be true for the rest. From reading, the mpi seems to be pretty sensitive to misreadings so I thought it would be useful to clean the rest. I just don't want to damage any through cleaning them in the wrong way. I will wipe the rest down :)
