Just get all the gaskets. If you havent ever pulled the UIM/LIM/TB/EGR/IAC then the gaskets on the TB/EGR/IAC will likey tear or fall apart. The Felpro gaskets from Autozone are of equal quality to the Ford ones. The Felpro ones also come in a pack of 4 (two LIM, two UIM) so it can make things a tad easier. Equally priced to the discounted Ford ones, plus you can typically get all the gaskets from Autozone in the same day (though they had to order either the IAC or EGR gasket, not sure. Came in by the next day.). Valvoline carb cleaner works amazingly well for the LIM and TB. It pressure washes the buildup right off, often without even scrubbing. For the UIM you need to get something you can pour in, like Seafoam or Berrymans. On a related note, WEAR GOGGLES WHEN SPRAYING CARB CLEANER! When I was spraying out the back of the TB, the cleaner shot back at me out of one of the groves (like putting a ladle under the faucet) and went straight into my eye. I thought I was going to be blind, and I dont think Ive ever felt pain like that in my life. I had my open eye under a stream of water for like 10 min, and I could feel it all day  I would have felt like such a tool if it caused permanent damage. Goonz, this thread has reminded me that I still need to make me a oil seperator. Thanks for the reminder

Shouldn't it be the other way around about reusing the gaskets? I would think the UIM/LIM gaskets would be more reuseable than the TB/IAC/EGR. Don't those gaskets seal themselves after a little while with heat?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, you're wrong. With the few cleanings I've done, I've reused the TB/IAC/EGR gaskets, and replaced the intake manifold gaskets once.

Pssh, dont listen to Mark.  Just get new ones. The only harm it could do is lighten you by maybe $20 and you might actually do some preventative maintenance. Big whoop.

I know of many people having vac leaks reusing UIM/LIM gaskets when they have some age on them. If you have over 30-40k on the gaskets I'd suggest getting new ones.

Well you have replaced the originals, so the new ones cant be all that old.
If you have never done it, I would highly recommend replacing all of them to avoid any potential leaks (which will throw a CEL).
