Default '98 Accord Intake plenum clean, now it wont crank

I have a '98 Accord V6 2 door. I removed the plenum, and cleaned it thoroughly with tb cleaner. I was getting codes for P0505 and P0401. While removing the throttle body i removed the coolant hose momentarily, very little leaked out. After i was finished i thoroughly checked everything was back in place and tried to crank it. It was almost cranked, but it cut off. I cleared the codes and tried again, but i got a new code P0113. Im wondering if a sensor got wet from the cleaner, or the cleaner hasnt evaporated in the plenum. Im open for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Check intake air temperature sensor connector. You likely left it loose. This code is for open circuit on that sensor.

good luck

Thanks T.H. I checked the sensor and it was connected, but there was some liquid in it so i left it open to dry. Would that cause it to not start, or just run poorly?

I took the plenum back off in case there was any more fluid in there. Let it air dry for a bit, and took a blow dryer to the IAT sensor. Plugged it all back, and fired up!! She's running like a top!! Thanks for the help T.H.
