alright, so i cleaned my engine bay today. i used some simple green and sprayed it all over the engine. like a dumba** i had the car off . I took out all the plugs and wires and checked if their was any water and they were dry. I also checked out the dist. cap and took those wires out and they were dry as well. The car will not turn over. Anybody have any idea what could be wrong? I also checked the fuse box(s) and they were dry also. I need this thing running by tomorrow so ill be on here doing research to see what it could be . thanks for reading and hope you can help.

shouldve covered your dizzy.... itll start eventually, just give it time to dry. that, or you can take the cap off and help speed the process up.
