cleaned the throttle body, now truck won't start..

Hello
Here is my problem:

I have just changed my cap and rotor, started the truck and it started just fine. I then turned it off, and started again, once again it started just fine.

Now i thought hey why not clean the throttle body too, since i got the hood open. WRONG MOVE, here is when all the trouble started..

So i removed the entire intake to access the throttle body. Then i sprayed throttle body cleaner into the the throttle body, cleaning the butterfly plate and surrounding area.

Next i remember having a bottle of SEAFOAM, reading the directions, it said pour it into the throttle body with the car running so ATTEMPTED to start the car. then i heard a a pop that was not too loud and the car did not start.

scared shitless, i replace all the intake parts and tried starting the card again. NO LUCK, i can hear the starter, trying to start the engine but nothing else.
PLEASE help me out
