i'm thinking you need to do the throttle calibration process. i believe we have those.

edit-didn't read whole thing. id make sure you are doing it right.

You're not supposed to move the throttle plate when you clean them. You may have ruined your TB. What kind of noise does it make when you turn the key to On but do not start?

Sounds like it's running, thats means its not dead.

Yup. It may not be good news for you.

But just in case:

If you've done the relearn, have you also checked to make sure that you remembered to reconnect all sensor connections and the vacuum line underneath the intake tubes?

With electronic tb's you gotta be careful. Manual ones move em all you want. Very fragile motors in these.
