I cleaned my IAC earlier with intake and throttle body cleaner in a can, its a liquid.

it didnt fix my bad idling(low idle and sparatic rpm readings) .

so next im off to clean my MAF sensor, well is my can of intake/throttle body cleaner the same stuff for cleaning MAF sensor? seen some ppl say carb cleaner for this one.

any help and info would be great, been all over this car trying to fix this idle.

same stuff????

I'd use electrical contact cleaner. Or one of the companies (the brand that AZ stocks) has a dedicated MAF sensor wire cleaner. The main issue is to use something that wont leave a residue.

See Jrichker's idle issue checklist inside Daggars Tech Sticky at the top of 5.0 Tech for more tips and tricks (and a write up on cleaning the MAF and setting idle, etc).

Good luck.
