Default helpHelp! My S Won't Start

So I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. Sprayed Carb cleaner into the throttle body and put everything back totogether and not she won't start. I figure I flooded the engine so I let it sit for a couple of days and it still won't start. I've taken the manifold off and cleaned it. I've given the map sensor and whack. I've taken the plugs out and check for spark which it does. I've checked for fuel and the injector sprayed out of the engine when I checked for spark. I've checked the sensors and wiring with a multimeter. The only thing that says that there is a open circuit is the iacv motor. I know I made big mistake so please don't bash on me too hard because I'm already feeling stupid.

Why did you feel the need to spray the cleaner? Something else going on before?

It was idling really low and sometimes it would die when coming to a stop or start up.

Have you ever done a compression test? Do you have any check engine lights?

No check engine lights just the oil light is on though. Turns off when I turn over. And I've haven't tried it havd throttle yet. I think what is going on is that the iac valve is not working at all. I did an ohms test and got nothing. So it keeps flooding my car. I tried and start with injectors unplugged and it bogs like it wants to start.

carb cleaner + fuel injectors = bad
Check your fuel injectors

You triple sure all of your sensors are plugged in? I guess you'd get immediate codes if your map wasn't making connections. Sounds like you've been through the motor though.

How much cleaner did you spray? In guesstimated ounces?

Maybe a one once kinda sprayed for about 10 seconds maybe 15. I checked the injectors and they are spray fine. I literally took out the intake and fuel injectors. Lemme tell you that intake was a pita. I checked all the wiring with a multimeter and there is no check engine light. Nothing is unplug and I put everything back together checked all the vacuum lines. The only thing that seems like a problem to me is the iac valve. When I tested it it says that there is a short in the motor. There connection reads fine a good 5v.
