Default still hard to start

I opened and cleaned everything, should i take throttle body right off and use parts cleaner, i will have to buy new throttle body gasket to. I changed valve cover gaskets on it today, the hose from valve cover to pcv valve was clogged big time so i cleaned it and new pcv. It's been getting harder to start lately, been having to give it more throttle. I have to make time and get pressure gauge from autozone to check fuel pressure i think, i dont believe the place my daughter took it put a new fuel pump and fuel filter like they charged her for. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Is there a hole in the throttle body that could be clogged?

Yep, you should take it off to clean it. Also remove the idle speed motor and clean in there.
