I am going to take my plenum off in the next couple of days to try to clean out the idle control valve (my idle fluctuates a bit) and replace the throttle valve switch. (is there 1 or 2?)

My question is, do I need to replace any of the plenum or throttle body gaskets when doing this? Also, any insight to cleaning out the idle control valve or replacing the throttle switch would be appreciated.
