looking to clean the iac on my 5.0 mustang and on the 5.0 bronco i just brought for my g/f, says i should use throttle body cleaner to clean it, is this the same as carb cleaner or what, where do i find it?

Ford has a throttle body cleaner and you should be able to find one in your local auto parts store. It is going to smoke like hell for a minutes, so do it outside.

when i first did it to my car it caused a backfire through the intake.. a small one but enough to make me jump

watch where u stand lol

thanks

hopefully this solves my idle problem in both cars, how much does it cost on avereage to convert dense air to maf and is it going to be a problem that the bronco has two air runners into the intake from the air box

Go through the junk yard and find a MAF that is calibrated for your injectors and swap the computer and you are good to go for cheap.

yah i think STP has a good throttle body/intake cleaner, its like 3.99 and it smooths out the idle. alost try cleaning the idle air control

DONT use carb cleaner. It has solvents in it that Injector cleaner does not and can dissolve plastic parts in the fuel system. Seafoam might be a possiblility.
