Used Fuel system cleaner, car won't start now. Need advice.

Topic pretty much say's it all. Today I cleaned out my fuel system with a cleaner and now my car won't start. The cleaner was basically the same stuff as Run-Rite. Liquid stuff that gets dripped/poured into intake while car is running to clean injector's, followed by throttle body spray to clean the TB and a gas additive. I did the injector cleaner while the car was running first, then shut the car off and added the gas additive, then cleaned the TB. I let the car run 10 min's after doing the injector cleaner and it ran fine ( had to keep give it gas to prevent stalling though, guess hose that was feeding the cleaner was creating to big of a intake leak and stalled the car out ). I didn't run the car right after cleaning the TB though, I let it sit for about an hour. I did let it sit with the secondary throttle plates open for about 10 mins so everything dried out, then i put the intake hose back on and let it sit for about an hour. I imagine I still have spark since I had it before cleaning. I have air since none of the TB Plates are stuck, both seem to be working fine ( I can manualy open them and def. hear second's closeing ). Only thing I can think of it the Injector cleaner clogged my injectors? The car cranks, but just won't kick over... alot like it has no fuel ( I had just topped off the tank before cleaning too, so I know I have a full tank ). All vac. lines appear to be connected. I am stumped

P.S. Car is an 86 N/A

you may have flooded it.
remove your EGI fuse and trailing plugs and turn it over cause there may be junk in the housings and carbon deposits may have fouled the plugs
