So, I washed my engine about 4 hours ago trying to clean up some of the crap. I used the Purple Power (or whatever the shit is) spray which did a nice job. Well, I just went to go and start the car but the car won't start. Engine turns over but it won't start. I don't have the time to work on it at the moment but from quick glances, All fuses appear to be good on the battery, fuse box, and underdash. I checked for any electrical plugs that have have come undone such as MAS, CAS, sparkplug wires, TPS, coolant sensors, O2 sensor, etc.
I did notice some water in the spark plug wells but I soaked that up with some paper towels but still didn't get the engine to start. Had no issues starting before washing the engine bay. Looking for any suggestions or ideas as to where I can start to look for issues in a little bit when I have more time to actually start testing for issues. My gut is telling me that it is going to be a sparking issue be it plugs, wires, coil pack, transistor dealy that powers the coil pack, or even the ignition control module on the firewall...
Ideas and suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I will check back here as quick as I can to review and to give back results when I can. Thank you all in advance.
