Question Throttle body HELP

I cleaned my throttle body today on my tl, and I think their might have been some liquid in it when I restarted it, it didn't want to start for like 20 secs, then it started fine, will this mess it up??

Why would you start the motor knowing there was a "foreign substance" in the direct induction of air for your precious TL?

The TB cleaner probably evaporated or burned off pretty quickly if it even entered the combustion chamber.

I'm just saying be more careful when you DIY man.Sometimes,not having the proper technique or patience for that matter can do more harm than good.

I have done a lot of research on tb cleaner, and ive concluded it will not hurt your engine, it most cases it will just burn up and not cause any damge, unless you spray wayyy to much and lock up the engine.
