hi bobshow. well u cant clean the TPS it is a sealed unit. if its sticking or gummed up u have to replace it.(they are only like 80 dollars) the MAF i dont think that u can use any cleaners on it so just blow out all the dirt with compressed air. and the IAC is cleanable, use throttlebody cleaner (carb cleaner) spray the shaft part of the IAC.. NOT the plug connection, sensors dont like getting wet. and make sure that u clean the bore where the IAC came out of as well and if the IAC shaft is extended to its limit be sure to lightly push it back using a side to side motion so when you put it back in it wont get ruined when you start up you car. i hope this helps. a tune up may also help it to run smoother.
