After cleaning the throttle body and MAF - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

After I clean the throttle body and MAF on my 92 LS400, the RPM start a little higher then 1000 and idle roughly. After 30 second, RPM start decrease (I can feel the car is shaking) then engine die. start it again and it die within 10 secounds. I wait for two hours and try again same thing happen (RPM start a little higher then 1000 and idle roughly. After 30 second, RPM start decrease then engine die.)
I unplug the MAF sensor nothing change.
I use CRC mass air flow sensor cleaner and CRC Throttle body & air-intake cleaner

Any one know why?

How did you clean it? Did you just spray into it with the car off and then try to start?

so you flooded the intake with cleaner. I suggest you pull the plugs and crank the motor for a minute to clear the cylinders. Clean the plugs and reinstall. it should fire right up.
