CAr wont turn over after throttle body cleaning and intake cleaning please help

I clean my place racing monster flow filter with this cleaner and then hosed it. After letting dry i applyed a oil to it. Then i cleaned my throttle body. Soon after i started car wasnt a clean start, did it a few times...a short time after i go to move my car to wash it and it wont turn over it just clicks. What could be the problem? Also did they instuct me to use the wrong cleaner for the filter was oiling it wrong ?...Any info would be appreciated thanks

Sounds like your starter took a crap...give it a few whacks, try to start the car again and report back..

So the car is not even cranking right?

You didn't "hose water" anywhere near the TB did you?

How did you clean the TB?

check battery, if NG replace. check cable to post voltage drop max .2-.5v if NG check for Green Fuzzy Stuff.

Hopefully you didn't screw up your MAF with the oil or whatever you used.

Similar thing happening to me, anyway to check if the MAF is working? Don't mean to hijack this thread but if I change the MAF do I have to reset the ECU or unplug the battery?

if it just clicks your battery is probably dead. get a jump. Were you listening to the radio when you were doing all this? or was your key on Ignition?
