Use carb cleaner and spray a little at a time, then use a few cotton swabs to clean it. Let it dry for about 30 mins and put it back on should be good as new

I wouldn't put the sensor under any fluids at all will fuck it up and iac valves and they ain't cheap

@kenithj76 no problem, it's just an electromagnet

its a shame they didn"t show exactly what ir required the camera man must have been pissed

don't just submerg the valve as the connector can get damaged.

[KrtekMikee]

@KrtekMikee WHen you say petrol, are you referring to fuel?

[KrtekMikee]

@canihaveanid

Yes it´s normal fuel for petrol cars.

@KrtekMikee We here in America call it gasoline lol, most people have never heard of the word petrol

I dont know. Other engine sensor?

Engine temperature sensor? - check

You must find true value any engine sensors (inetrnet) and check it.

Check spark plugs... you must use original Motorcraft
