DG is a double edged sword- it will keep moisture out...it can also trap moisture in.
moisture can be generated by condensation, hot/cold.

just a consideration.

I have a lot doubts about this.




As for sensors, I have used brake cleaner, but bought sensor cleaner. Which us probably better.

Dielectric grease doesn't clean, just keeps moisture out.

....using the right hand on the ignition switch prevents accidental throttle input while the ecm is shut down- which can give a false "zero" tps reading on restart.
