I used STP cleaner, and definately noticed a difference. Specifically, when leaving in first gear, major smoother engagement, and smoother idle.....

I cleaned mine when I had a rough idle. It didn't really help at all so I just let the dealership replace mine under warranty, and I had the CAI on. I just told them not to reset the pcm. Great dealer... I guess i'm lucky...

It is a no no. CRC makes an electronic connector cleaner or an electric parts cleaner would also work I believe (made by the same company)
