    Ok, i was cleaning the engine bay with some water and engine degreaser (covering amp fuse and alternator) and after i cleaned it the engine won't start now!
    I only used a tini amount of water.

    Now i'm thinking that some water went into the spark plugs but that is sealed with the plugs and even if water did go in the cyclinder it would evapurate quickly wouldn't it?
    Its kciking over but feels like there's no spark hence why i said water into spark plugs!
    Plus i just got a new battery :?
    Any help would be good...

    Thanks Jason

    Well not sure.
    Instead of me doing a trial and error on alot of the hardware i just did alot of them and then it worked.

    I looked at all fuse's etc.. all fine
    Then some ignition wiring all fine.
    Also took the distributor off to look if water went in there! (no water)
    Took the plugs out and rocer cover and there didn't seem to be any water!
    Cleaned out the spark plugs etc..
    While everything was off i cleaned it all and got a mini air compessor thing and blew some air onto it.
    Put everything back into place and then the car started.

    It was idealing rough at first (must of got some water in the cyclinder block) then it came good

    sometimes you can get water in the dizzy although it looks dry its needs a B J with compressed air to get all the water out. moisture in there is enogh to make the car run rough. I been cought out stacks of times,

    u think ur being really carefull with da water, but you get really disapointed when she wont start
