I see a lot about seafoam to clean the iac, but what do you guys think of just using wd-40? It is an awful good cleaner and I have a lot of it. Interested to see what people have to say.

I usually use carburetor cleaner - Gum Out or similar - followed by WD-40 as lube.

Brake clean for me, doesn't leave any residue. WD40 isn't really a cleaner or penetrating fluid, but it does those things adequately.

Brake clean does leave a residue.

Maf cleaner or electrical parts cleaner does not.
