What'd you use to clean your throttle body? Might've sprayed too much stuff in there.

Code scanner said Tac system limited power. Engine is not acting up n running just fine so i claered the code n gonna see if comes back on. I think it was from where i had pushed the trottle open to clean it.

Next time just remove the throttle body and clean it on a workbench. Its a lot easier and that way you aren't spraying all the gunk down into the intake.
