Default lost all power after throttle body cleaning

All i did was pull off the air tube from the box and clean the inside with throttle body cleaner with a rag and tooth brush and pulled off the map thing or something on the right side of it. It has a spring on it and i cleaned it up with mass air cleaner the put all together. I will floor it and it will do nothing then takes the **** off. Its only when i floor it, I dont have any transmission problems

How much throttle body cleaner did you use? You may have flooded something. Sounds ridiculous, but ya never know.
TPS?

u cleaned the IAC? (the thing posted in the picture) did u mess with it at all, if you pushed it in, pulled it out or anything you can mess it up, The IAC is a motor, it steps in or out in response to monitored engine RPM vs programmed engine RPM. When it steps out, it chokes off the bleed air around the throttle butterfly, effectively slowing idle down. When it steps in, it adds bleed air to the throttle bypass effectively simulating a slight opening of the throttle butterfly. if you didnt seal the iac tight enough there could be a air leak causing problems aswell.
now i dont know exactly how the 90 throttle bodys are, but there should be a pludger on the iac and that is wat controls the air
