Default Starting issue after changeing plugs

Well I know I shouldnt have sprayed carb cleaner don the holes but I did and then installed my new plugs and it would start for the life of me the plugs were drenched. So took em out dried them off and turned the engine over trying to get all the crap out and still wont start started fine before so kinda crazy. So gunna let it dry overnight and hopefully that takes care of it dont see why its being such a pain. I saw that the plug holes had a bunch of crap down em and just sprayed a bit of cleaner down there to clean em off before installing new plugs. Never had this happen before so dont know anyone else have this prob an if so Im ope for suggestions.

Wow this is a new one. I am assuming you still have the plugs out and letting it air out over night and that might help the situation. I see that your car is a 95xjr and I am not positive but I think like mine if you hold the accelerator to the floor when starting the fuel is cut off. I will assume that is correct. I would reinstall the plugs assuring that they are clean, at the same have the battery fully charged. When you are ready hold the accelerator to the floor and begin cranking after a few good cranks let up on the accelerator. This will introduce the fuel to the cylinders and with a little luck get it started.

After you get it started add a can of BG 44K and fill the tank. It will take care of the injectors and valves for you.
