Urgent: Cleaned Throttle Body...Car Wont Start

So I just got done cleaning my throttle body using STP TB & AIR Intake cleaner and when I went to start the car it wont. I'll press on the gas but nothing? Any idea on what I did wrong.

All tubes and such are connected...

http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/517 Follow this websight and make sure that anything he tells you to take off, you replaced. Make sure your MAF sensor is plugged in, as well as the other sensor on the intake. Did you for some reason disconnect your battery?

Edit: I guess since it's not the battery be sure you didn't miss the MAF sensor and the other one.

Wow that was really wierd...just went to go start the car and gave it some gas. I let it get up to 5-6K and it ran. Turned it off and started it back up...seems like its fine now.

Thanks for the quick responses...
