I have Gumout Jet Spray Carb + Choke Cleaner, 14oz. Is this good for the MAF (mass air flow) Senor and/or the Throttle Body? Of do I need to find official Throttle Body cleaner?

Trying to find out why the engine is hunting/missing after the 1st inch of the pedal going down and haven't cleaned them in far too long.

For the throttle body, probably fine, though sea foam or something like that is probably a better option. MAF I would not do. If you are going to clean that, buy MAF cleaner. Its a very sensitive instrument and therefore probably best not to use the wrong cleaner, especially something as volatile as carb fluid.
