Morganton,

So, I recently bought a 1g Eclipse about a month ago with some issues that I felt were doable for someone that's not a mechanic. This car was running btw.
So what's been done to this car is that I have changed the fuel injectors, fuel filter, and spark plugs, and today I cleaned the throttle body. After i cleaned it ran better but I ran to an issue though, I could not find the IAC so I decided (for some reason) to unscrew parts I thought were the IAC around the throttle because I wanted to see if it needed to be replaced or cleaned. So I did this and while doing (without realizing) the hose for the air intake that connects to the engine disconnected I tried to start the car and of course, it starts up but dies almost imminently and now does not start at all. When I noticed this mistake I connected it back and tried to start the car but no luck.
This is where I am at right now and I've reconnected everything I disconnected previously but still no have had no luck.
