Yup spray onto the sensor, leave for 10 mins before refitting.

Do not touch it with anything and hold the carb cleaner at least 20cm away.

Nope, some more work involved

1. Under the dash ar two green connectors, connect them together
2. Turn the key to the second (ACC) setting , the 1 before the engine starts
3. Radiator will start to run at 2 or 3 variable speeds
4. Disconnect the 2 hoses to the sensor
5. Carb cleaner into 1 hose
6. Blow into the hose you sprayed into at step 5.
After a couple blows/tries you will hear the clicking sound.
7. Take key out of ignition
8. Disconnect 2 green connectors.
9. Connect hoses again
10. Take her for a spin

Is that better than carb cleaner?.. ...I used a Q-Tip on mine and didn`t damage it but ended up buying a new one anyway cos it was f***ed.

yes mate, it should be dry in a minute but leave it a few just in case..

IMHO it shoudlnt need cleaning unless you are running a HKS/blitz induction kit.
