Car wont start after cleaning throttle body?

[SKYLINE]

Yesterday I cleaned the throttle body of my s13 it was dirty! Using a throttle body cleaner. I put everything back to gather and now the car wont start! Wtf?

The engine turns over and sounds like it wants to start but it doesn't?

I have checked everything is connected right. I waited over night to see if it will start in the morning but it didn't

Any ideas?

Do you have fuel and spark?

Do you have fuel and spark?

Yes I do. I had just replace the spark plugs, Fuel filter and fuel pump last week.

I think I used to much throttle body cleaner :/

you probably flooded it. hold the pedal to the floor while you're cranking the engine

*and be ready to let off real quick when it fires and revs
you're supposed to use a rag soaked with cleaner to scrub the throttle body clean especially where the blade contacts the bore...then you run the engine at a high idle whill spraying the cleaner

why would you want to rinse all that carbon into your motors intake....

U dun broke dat sheeet

I have done this many times to different cars I have owned. Never had a problem :/ I will see when I get home. And I have press the gas while It cranked.

Not a little bit, put the pedal on the floor. WOT

 

[SKYLINE]

I did that lol

your plugs are probably bathed in carbon and the arc is traveling along the surface instead of igniting the mixture

pull em

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

either that or whatever you touched caused the original problem to rear its head as a total failure instead of an intermittent

 

[SKYLINE]

Took the plugs out. And I cleaned them put them in the oven for a bit. Then I put them back on, and it didn't want to start. I took off the fuel pump fuse and it started but it turned off right away.

I put the fuel pump fuse back on didn't want to start. I took it off and it started but died?

What the heck!

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

you cannot clean off carbon arc or carbon tracking once it happens you have to replace the plugs.

either that or as I said your original issue is back and in a permanent failure mode

 

[slowchevy]

Why didn't you just remind the throttle body to clean it

I know it might sound retarded to some but I have always been afraid of fucking something up. Few screws, clips and it's off.

 

[SKYLINE]

Great so now I gotta buy new plugs -.-

 

[SKYLINE]

How do I know for sure it's going to start with new plugs? -.- before I spend 20$+ on them lol

How is your car stating with no fuel pump fuse? Either you are looking at your fuse panel wrong or your car has some major wiring nightmares.

It is probably running rich and is running for a short bit when no fuel is being run through it off of whatever is in the rail etc. Doesn't quite make sense but only guess I have.

I had to pull the fuse to my fuel pump to clear a flood condition when my Z thought it's coolant was 0 degrees and was giving it way to much fuel.

It starts up but dies right away. Then it docent want to start.

Unless I put the fuse back on and try to started it with gas to the floor.
And if I do that then take off the fuse to the fuel pump it will start and died.

Lol the wiring is fine its all normal and stock, never been messed with
