I tried a search, but didn't come up with anything appropriate. I cleaned my engine bay today, and I'm having a problem starting. I can hear a clicking, but it doesn't turn over. I started it after degreasing and rinsing it and it started fine, so it must have something to do with the tire foam I sprayed in there. I'm letting it dry in the sun right now, but is there anything else I can check/try?
 
Never mind...let it dry a little longer and cleaned up some questionable areas with paper towels and it started fine.
 
I did the same thing to time...Make sure you let everything dry..The best thing to do, is to take a leaf blower or an air compresser...to blow out some of the water...either way..good luck man!!
