Are new gaskets needed when cleaning throttle body? Maybe no gaskets at all?

I look at them. I've never had to replace them but if there bad yes you should.

I'm going to reuse the rubber band type gasket between the TB elbow and intake. I will replace the other "paper" types (EGR valve and IAC). The IAC gasket looks good actually but going to replace it anyway.

Anyone know of any issues with using AutoZone's Duralast gaskets?

Note: I went back and added pics of the throttle body removed back in Post #13. See Pics 7 8.

I would say the gaskets from autozone should be fine. For a few bucks it's worth knowing they are new. I have reused the IAC gasket before with no issues but the egr gasket fell apart on me during removal.
