Any ideas?

I put sum fuel injector cleaner in, no help, no codes either...

How can I test my IAC? Are there any type of setting procedures for it because I did unplug it and unscrewed the two bolts that hold it in place during the no start condition just to look at it, but then i put it right back....could that have done something?

And i did use an autozone brand carb cleaner...

Any help would be appreciated

Ahhh!, let just hope you didn't use carb cleaner on TPS. You know it'll damage TPS right? Carb cleaner has petroleum lubricant that will bind to electronic contact and render it useless.

I cut/paste the above from another forum in hoping to show this is what will happen when you try to save $2 buck.

Use an ether-based starting fluid. This has little if any lubricants in it and the most volatile pertoleum compunds that will break up and dissolve sludge. It's best to remove the throttle body to do this, but if you don't want to - use sparing amounts and goose the throttle while spraying into the intake so you won't flood the motor

just for the record. there is not much to be cleaned inside the TPS ... it usually just wears out when very old ... the new OEM one is $45 from online dealers ...
