    Any help would be appreciated.

    I haven't replaced either of these items, but I've had them both off, & cleaned them with sensor safe throttle body cleaner.
    Just re-installed after drying & away I go...no relearn sequence that I'm aware of...

    Yeah I did the same thing with my idle control valve (just cleaned it - needed to replace the FPR though), I just said what I did because I thought the parts were cheap, but if they are not cheap (does amazon not mail to AUS?), just clean like Larry said and you should be fine for a few more thousand miles
