Carb cleaner in TB gives 3k idle Options

[jordisonjr]

Well my car was running pretty ****ty today, so I tried spraying some carb cleaner in through the intake (I recently changed the plugs, wires,cap and rotor so I knew it wasn't that.) and the car tried to die out liek it should. So I gave it some gas while spraying the carb cleaner and then when i stopped it idle'd normal.

Then out of nowhere the car jumped to like 5500RPM, or something rediculously high, so I ran and shut the car off, unhooked the battery and let it sit for about an hour.

The car now consistantly idles at 3000rpm, and when i turn the ignition off to shut the engine off, it doesn't seems to shut off properly, but almost stalls itself out.

Did I screw a lot of sh!t up?
I guess you can't trust everything you read on these forums cause i've read it multiple posts that you can spray carb cleaner through the intake..

First problem. You used carb cleaner. It's too hot of a liquid. You probably destroyed your MAF or another sensor inside. I'd never run it while cleaning simply because you can suck the cleaner where you don't want it to go. Barrymans B12 Chemtool is the best throttle body cleaner I know of that won't kill your MAF or any sensor inside if it gets on it. Just don't run the engine. My guess is that it either damaged the MAF or another vacuum sensor inside when it got sucked into the vac lines.
