2001 V6 PreRunner won't start after cleaning throttle body.
I removed the throttle body from my 2001 V6 PreRunner for a good cleaning, along with the MAS and new plugs. All went smoothly until I tried to start it up...keeps trying, but wont turn over. I double checked connections, plugs, hoses, lines, etc...

I'd check if you have spark or not, unless you hear some firing. If you have spark I'd probably plug in a scanner to the OBDII plug and see what the throttle position sensor is reading at different throttle positions. Compare those readings to the FSM specs.

I have bosch platinum 4's and never had a problem. I love them. But maybe I'm just the type of person that buys into that marketing hype, note my k&n intake instead of isr and deckplate

Ray - I found it hard to believe also, but tried it anyway. All plugs were an exact number match to the iriduims I pulled out, which have been in my truck for about 70,000 - I double checked each plug to make sure each part number matched. They looked pretty damn good by the way...
Prorunner - I've been thinking abou trying those, but I'm hesitant to go away from NGK
Goat - I appreciated your input, thanks!

I am siding with The Durk on this one.
I will say three years ago a buddy changed out his plugs on a 98~99 Camry and thing would not fire afterwards. All grounds, etc. were good to go. Turns out that the auto parts store (O'reilys I think) sold him plugs that were too short, hence the wire boot did not cover the plug enough to make contact to produce spark yet the thread pattern was the same so no crossthreading occured....

You're probably right Durk, but I took those plugs back anyway for some Bosch Platnum +2's. I'll take a good look around for ground wires I may have hit when I install these.
