Electronic connection cleaner?

I have seen this stuff in the store and heard it talked about a couple times on the boards. Does it do anything really? I have my ECM pulled out right know to check for a bad connection to the TPS should i buy some of this stuff and spray the ECM connections?

If you're asking which contact cleaner is good. If you need it, Caig's DeoxIT D5 is the beast I've used. Are you having problems with bad connections or just being safe?

just keep having a code 21, Defectvie TPS or bad connection. And I've checked everything so it is kinda just for trial and error. I checked the connection and it looked clean so i jst put some dialectric grease on the connector.
