okay, it was running fine earlier. I had cleaned my engine compartment with a degreaser. afterwards, i rinsed everything with the hose. now it won't start!!

the starter works fine. it cranks, but won't turn over.
please help.

You rinsed your engine with a hose? You're crazy man.

pull the distributor cap off and see if there is water in there.

Honestly check everything to make sure nothing has gotten inside of anything internally.......for ex: your distributer, airbox (cai); make sure no water has gotten inside connectors ( btwn were the male and female ends meet), if at most you might gotten the wrong thing wet, and now it might just need to be dried..........

yea, i kno. but what else would i use to RINSE it? just following the advice of some friends who do the same thing and have no problems.


thanx, man. i forgot about that. now i can get to school tomorrow.

i after i rinsed it, i blew all the remaining water out and dried it. i checked the electrical connections and stuff. some stuff was still damp so i waited for EVERYTHING to dry.

it's not like i took a pressure washer to it. i'll just have to remember the distributor next time.

I would've wipe it off with a damp rag. Glad you found the problem though. Did you take any before and after pics?
