I just did both my TB and MAF using MAF cleaner. I pulled the TB off and cleaned it that way, reused the gasket. My idle smoothed out a little bit, I also did the relearn procedure.

There is a coating on the inside of any modern FoMoCo TB. I thought most of the cleaners I see say not to use if there is a coating on them.
