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
