I recommend taking off the accordion tube to clean it
then unbolt the throttle body (leave the coolant hoses attached) and clean the dirt off the tube and throttle plate carefully.
Wipe the intake manifold clean behind the TB.
Spray clean the MAF
All these can be done with brake cleaner

Don't try to spray anything into your intake manifold if you don't know what it will do
