the motor really needed a cleaning, so i gave it the works. i removed some things so i could clean absolutely everything, because i want to do something right if i am to do it at all. nothnig serious, just unbolting small stuff from the sides and shifting them out of my way for a few minutes. no unplugging whatsoever. so, i get in the ar and it wont fire. crank, but wont start. i look around, shit. i forgot to plug in a plug to the disty. go back to try it again, it wants to start, but wont catch. so ive been waiting a little, hoping for it to dry out. anyone else have this problem?

 

check for water in the spark plug hole

if so do not remove the spark plugs just stuff a bunch of rags down there or paper towel

 

still wont start. i went ahead and sprayed as many of the electrical stuff i could with some wd40, so afterit sits in i hope it will start. sure would suck to stay home this sat.

 

Just for future reference you have to cover up the alternator, maf, dist, and any other electrical parts that can affected by water. Try not to get these things wet. I would say take all of the connectors apart and spray them with wd40 and hopefully get most of the water.

 

Do you have a cold air intake? Your MAFS could be soaked with water.

 

i always make sure car is running


then i fucking drench hose pressure wash all of it

then i shut hood let it idle more and more and it dries itself off

no probs ever

 

it might be your engine control fuse!

HAHAHAH

 

yea i know taylor, that was the first thing i checked. hell i checked it twice! LOL!!!1 eleven! $#%

 

ok i got it running. went ahead and charged the battery to full and it barely started. but runs good now, im sure there are still some moist spots to clear out before it runs perfect again.

 

you can also hhave gotten water into your distributer and you shoulda of coverd all the electrical on the car before you pressure wash or whut ever you did to the engine shoulda atleast cover with plastic bags
