    Car wont start after maf and throttle was cleaned

    Hi
    I was having some idling problems when car was cold rpms would go crazy up and down up and down so i bought some maf cleaner and throttle cleaner. Cleaned the maf and throttle body but now car wont start, my guess is that since i cleaned the throttle without removing it that sone cleaner went thru the the holes. Any ideas what to try??? thanks

    Check engine light on? You could have damaged the maf and could have damaged the FIAV or IAC with the liquid

    Check obvious stuff first. Are all the electrical connections plugged back in correctly? Any big air gaps? Does it start at all?

    Go get your engine codes read and find out what else is wrong.

    Might be your IAC.

    Since you cleaned the TB, you might have to adjust the BISS screw. Turn it just a little and see how the car responds. Just remember where you started when you do it. Worked for me...
