long version:
my gf's cg has idled low for a long time so i decided to clean the throttle body. I ended up spraying cleaning into the hole for the IACV and when i tried to start it later on the car came on, rpms went up to about 2500 for a sec then they dropped and the car completely shut off and wouldnt come back on.
I assumed there was cleaner up in the IACV so i completely removed the throttle body and IACV to clean them, replaced the gaskets (found out the vacuum hose to the IACV was cracked so I replaced that too, which i assume caused the idling issue). When i put everything back together I forgot to plug in the TP sensor and accidentally plugged the connector for the TP into the map sensor.
sooo... after getting a check engine light for that, smelling burnt gas and the car not staying on I figured out what I did wrong and fixed it. After clearing the check engine light and having it back together correctly I turned it on, the rpms went up to 2500 for a sec then the car shut off again and wouldnt come back on. I've figured out that the fuel pump isnt coming on everytime I turn the key. If i unplug the battery, wait a bit, then plug it back in the car comes on, rpms go up to 2500 then shuts off. Every time after that I don't hear the fuel pump come on unless i disconnect/reconnect the battery again.
Short version: after trying to clean the throttle body and getting cleaner into the IACV the rpms jump to 2500 then the car shuts off and won't come back on. I've noticed I cant here the fuel pump come on unless i disconnect then reconnect the battery and whenever I do that the car comes on, rpms up to 2500 then it shuts off
fuel pump fuse is fine, there's no check engine code and I can hear the main relay coming on
HELP!!! I have 2 weeks to fix this and several other things on her car before she gets back from China
