Ah Calvin, this one's too easy. Now who is going to be the first one to 
repsond?

MTFS-Multifunction temperature switch - 3 pin connector in the water 
manifold. Controls all sorts of good stuff. Replace every 60k mi.

MAF- Mass Air Flow meter. Resides right above the air box. Sometimes the hot 
wire element needs cleaning if you run a non-stock filter like a K&N.

BOV- Blow off valve. The correct term for the valve in our cars is BPV- By 
pass valve as this actually re-routes the air back into the turbine on 
shifts and throttle lift.

ISV- Idle stabilization valve. Resides right next to the throttle body, two 
hoses connected to it and one elcetrical connection. Clean this valve 
peridically by removing the valve and supplying 12v to open and close the 
internal valve. You should gets lots of black nasty stuff to come out. Then 
relube the valve with WD-40 or something similar to guarantee its proper 
operation.

I don't think you can clean the thottle body itself. HTH

Chad
