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..

The Celica's 5S is definitely MAP and IAT, not MAF.

There's a separate kind of cleaner for the TB, that's what I prefer to use. I assume there's a difference in the chemicals, though I don't know what it is. The directions on the back of the bottle for my TB cleaner say spray it directly in the throttle body while working the butterfly valve back and forth by hand with the motor off. It also says don't continuously spray- only do short blasts. I've noticed the stuff evaporates pretty quickly if there isn't too much of it, so maybe that had something to do with it. If the car is fine now, I'd say lesson learned, no real harm done.
