    3.4 v6. I removed the airbox and hose with maf and,cleaned it with maf cleaned.,i unplugged the TB wires and most tubes and just slid the TB forward so I could spray cleaner out and away from the intake manifold. Then I used crc connector spray to,clean the plugs, and applied a little die electric grease for waterproofing (i've done that many times before with other plugs in the engine bay).

    After I put everything on I went to start the truck and it just clicks one time. Seems like the battery is fully charged. What happened?

    I disconnected the battery about half way through so it could reset.

    What's happening? I need to go to work in the morning!

    First thing I would do is go through the whole process again. just to make sure that something wasn't left unplugged or done incorrectly.
    Second i would check the fuses, never know when unplugging things that you may have blown one.

    +1 on checking fuses just in case. If your battery is indeed good and starter is bad you may be able to smack the starter solenoid with a hammer a few times then attempt to start. Or if you have a manual Tran, could just roll start.

    Check the battery connections since you disconnected it half way through. Also, double check battery voltage with a multimeter to verify that it's not the battery.
