Help car won't start no more after wash!!

Post by cbrzx »

Help.

It was sunny here yesterday and stupid me decided to use gunk to clean the engine and sprayed it off as usual. Only this time after the wash the engine was running very rough.
I managed to drive around the block hoping it will clear itself but it did'nt.
It was running like a bag of s---!
I tried starting it today and it won't even start!
It cranks but won't start.

Help.

Sounds like you may have water in your distributor.
