wow...that does not sound like the directions that can be found on motorvate.ca. Were those the directions off of the throttle body cleaner? It doesn't sound like a good idea to run the car while cleaning, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say. Anyways, I don't know, but look at motorvate.ca to confirm if you did infact do everything right. Did you really run your car while doing this?

hmmm... couldnt have been good to be spraying something into the intake while the cars running. I never heard of this gunk out stuff.. just get some simple CARB/CHOKE cleaner or THROTTLE BODY CLEANER. Keep car off, spray some on it in there and whipe it clean!! its easy... i cant help you with the code though. Someone else will be able to.

there are somethings that recomend for the engine to be running (ex: sea foam) and im pretty sure you spark plugs went to crap because of the gunk your engine was burning up. those are my 2 cents
