I was so stressed out because it wouldn't start, it was also the first time I've done anything on a car myself, i took two mechanics classes in highschool but that was 9years ago,

I think I'll have to do the TB re-learn process tho, the idle and rev feel a little bit off.

If you get a bluetooth OBD2 Dongle, theres an app that runs the re-learn for you if you are having trouble, but ther are videos on youtube in realtime that shoudl make timing it easier as well...good luck

That's neat! I do have a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle. Thanks for that info! I'll look for the app.

Just had a look at the video, and from what I was seeing I thought it was starving for fuel... Mainly because I'm used to my uncles boat sounding just like that when its out of fuel...

At least you were able to get the issue sorted out! Let's hope that everything is smooth sailing from here!

It could be possible the MAP sensor was throwing it off? Because that's the error code i had. I cleaned the MAP sensor first and then the TBs, i only tried starting the car after i had done the sensor and TBs.

It also started this morning so that was good!

That very well could have been it, I bet t had some sort of gunk in it making the car thing a lot less air was being pulled in the engine. This probably made the ECU think it didn't need a lot of fuel, but in reality it wasn't pumping enough. Glad it started trouble free this morning!
