Hi guys,

My car engine is a 4age 20valve blacktop. I clean the throttle body by opening all the plenum intakes and spray the carburetor cleaner. Now the car cannot start. I need help..

Thanks

You spray with the engine running or not running?

Not sure what carburetor cleaner ingredients are. But probably a solvent with additives. Dunno how long to evaporate.

Have you tried stepping on the accelerator pedal while cranking the engine?

Only way to know is to take out the spark plugs and look at it.

Congrats... do clean it with the engine running if you planning to spray it deeply into the TB and intake manifold the next time.

Preferably with two persons. One to rev the engine while the other spray.
