I cleaned mine once with throttle body cleaner and the TPS sensor packed up.
Haven't cleaned it since, and that was about 10 years ago.

What a relief. I saw the thread title and thought it was a euphemism for something dirty. :happy175:

I check mine when I clean the throttle body. (Which has been exactly one time in the five years I have owned the Jeep.)

Every oil change ( 3-4000 miles )
inspect not clean each time , all part of my oil change routine , along with full rotation of tires , greasing everything, checking all ball joints, air filter clean or swap etc.
I don't run a 5 Minute Oil Change shop here:happy175:

Ive cleaned mine twice in the past 18mths. Both times it was very dirty. I drive on dirt roads fairly often so the dust gets all up in there and everywhere else.

I check it every third oil change and probably clean it once a year.
