Recently I cleaned my throttle body with throttle body cleaner. After a few cranks it finally started. I drove it about 20 miles came home. Tried to start it the next day would not start. Put the pedal to the floor, again no start. Why?

Normally I remove throttle body to clean, but was lazy this time.

Did you remove the MAP and throttle position sensor? If not then the chemical in the cleaner can damage these sensors. If they are damaged then it can cause a no start.

I would suggest starting with checking for codes and seeing what is there. This will keep us from guessing as to which sensor it is if I am correct.

No codes. Plugs are brand new, but when I pulled them they looked 20 years old. I am guessing all that carbon from cleaning the TB burned them black. Cleaned my plugs now it's running fine.
