RE: No Power From The THROTTLE BODY SPACER
There is always a debate whether they do anything on newer engines... I say no, they don't... others swear by them.
I don't think a cold air intake would matter either way, but it couldn't hurt. I highly recommend Cold Air Intakes... but I'm not at all a fan of TB Spacers... I hear too many negative things about them.

Well, duh! If it were that simple/easy (and cheap) to make noticeable power increases you don't think DC would do it?
You've had a relatvely cheap lesson in marketing. Don't believe the hype. As the old adage goes, "Speed costs money; how fast do you want to go?"
For what it's worth, I see that the Mopar cold air intake is listed as coming with a spacer. I'm guessing it's an outsourced "kit" that includes the spacer more for face validity ("Wow, another speed part's included") than anything else to help justify the price.
All the best.
