Throttle Body Sensor

Is there a way to easily clean this sensor in a 2000 V8 Tundra? Idling is
off especially after gunning the engine while sitting in park. The engine
will stall and need to be restarted. The tac at low idle is also a bit
erratic.

You don't clean any sensor. You clean the throttle body itself.
Remove the center black cover and remove the inlet to the throttle
body. With some throttle body cleaner and a soft, lint-free rag,
clean the throttle body and the throttle plate. Do not get any
dirt, lint, etc. inside. When you restart you might have some
unexpected results until the engine computer gets used to the clean
TB. Don't worry. If you have a so-called high performance air
filter, expect more dirt.
