Throttle body gasket
I will be pulling the entire throttle body on my 1996 V-6 T4R, to clean the throttle with CRC throttle body cleaner. Question: In addition to the NEW throttle body gasket, do I need to also use a gasket sealant ? Or is the NEW gasket enough ?

No sealant on the throttle body, or anywhere on the intake, as far as I know. I've done my knock sensors (multiple times) which requires removing the entire intake and didn't use a drop of sealant anywhere, only gaskets. No vacuum leaks anywhere.

Don't worry, this isn't a GM vehicle. Toyota actually designed its gaskets to seal the connections.

No sealant.
But, if you're switching the gasket out for a new one, this one is really nice:

Just a reminder...don't crank on the bolts reattaching the throttle body. Torque spec is a lite 13 ft lb.
Most tend to crank on the bolts thinking to seal out vacuum leaks.

Are you cleaning the IAC valve as well? You will certainly need a new gasket for it.
If you are not removing the IAC be careful not to let any gunk run down into it.

I crank on them and never experienced a problem once. Dont put my body weight into it but certainly dont worry about going over 13lbs. Torque spec is nothing more than a minimum, what's the worst that could happen?

Bolt snaps or bolt threads strip out

Yes, I will be removing and cleaning the IAC. Are you saying that I'll need a separate gasket for the IAC (in addition to the throttle body gasket) ????

IAC has a separate gasket to seal it to the throttle body

It's a figure 8 shaped o-ring in there. It's kind of important since one passage is for coolant flowing through the IAC and throttle body.
Make sure you use a JIS screwdriver or a VERY GOOD phillips on the IAC screws also. Lots of people have had problems stripping the heads. My Klein phillips fits them very well and had no problems.
