where exactly did you spray the cleaner in or at? i never had a problem i always use the CRC brand throttle cleaner it works great remember if spraying directly inside the TB make sure engine is on & make sure some1 can rev it a lil to make sure you dont drown it. if you spray it when off it can take a while to turn on or idle properly cuz the cleaner just sits there... check the IAC maybe got penetrated let it dry out or take it off & clean it with Thr. cleaner



just my 2cents..
