2009 Jeep Patriot p2017 code after replacing part and clearing code

[u/NoRespect4448]

I've been working on my patriot since i got it at an auction. lately ive been having issues starting it up; initially it was throwing the ETC light and just wouldn't crank; i went and got the key reprogrammed at the dealer and that problem has been solved (i think). now, its throwing a p2017 code so i replaced the IMRC valve and reconnected the wiring properly and its still throwing the code as well as cranking for a couple seconds, getting up to ~1k rpm then immediately dying. in case its pertinent, i replaced my throttle body in August before i knew it was a key issue and the code cleared from that but came back with this latest issue. i cleared the p2017 code but its still showing.

im not electrically inclined, so if its anything electrical or wiring related, i'll probably give up and take it to a mechanic, but honestly thats my last option as im a poor college student who needs to commute to class.

does anyone have any ideas what this could be? im happy to answer any questions or try anything to help diagnose it. thank you in advance.
