I removed the IAC valve from the throttle body, cleaned off the nozzle thing with some carb cleaner, wiped it down, and now she won't start at all. I didn't change anything else, or take any other parts off. Any ideas?

Update: The fuel pump starts fine...what else could it be? I unplugged the IAC before I took it off to clean, but can unplugging it and then plugging it back in when I was finished screw up the programming at all? Is there a way to "reset" the connection between the IAC and the computer? Is that even necessary?

Hopefully, you cleaned the throttle plate, too. If so....check your fuel pressure and check for spark.
It's possible you flooded it with leftover carb cleaner, also.
But I doubt it.
"Bump" the starter, then listen for the whine of the fuel pump. If you hear it.....you may have a good pump. If no spark, you may have a bad crank sensor.

Did you lose or damage the o-ring around the base of the IAC where it goes in to the throttle body?
Another try is to hold the gas pedal down slightly when starting ans see if you can hold it there for a few minutes. If so, it may be relearning.
Check that o-ring, though, it will leak air if it is cut or missing.

did you push the pintle all the way in ??? if its stuck wide open then you will have starting problems. pull it back out and check to see if its all the way up against the housing. also make sure you didnt clog the hole for the pintle
