You may have cracked the distributor cap... Hot engine plus water can put a hairline crack in the cap. the crack will allow moisture to build up inside and allow the spark to jump causing the car to not crank at all in most cases.
try removing the cap and check for any moisture what so ever and then wipe clean with a clean dry cloth replace the cap and try to crank the car again... if it starts you will still need to replace the cap just because the crack will allow more moisture in every time humidity is high.
don't mix up your spark plug wires remember your firing order is 1-3-4-2
washing the engine will hot at all especially while running is never a good idea... next time wash it first thing in the morning and still don't drive it for at least 4 to 5 hours or untill all the water is compleately dried up.

I would say, yes, if the transmission dipstick was up or missing, water went down the dipstick tube.

Hi,I`ll try to help,look at the low side reading when ac is running(before it cycles off...cluck sound),is it down to 10? 0? below ?If so have the expansion valve replaced and your ready to go.If not,if you have a high side reading,is it above 275 or 300?If so the cooling fan or fans are not coming on,find out why,cooling fan relay?fuses? If the fan or fans are running,then you have a restriction in the high side,either the dryer,or the condenser are stopped up.I I can be of more help,let me [email protected]
SOURCE: ac fan was working, turned off car and 2 hours
It is (in order of likeliness) either a fuse, the resistor (located in the airbox near the fan for cooling purposes, that resistor gets HOT!), the fan motor itself, the control switch, or, less than likely, wiring issues.
It can be quite a job to get in the airbox for the resistor and the motor as you probably have to take half the dash and trim out in order to get to the airbox...
SOURCE: just shut off the care returned 2 hours later no
Hi your problem sounds like the battery is gone and won`t take a charge. When your engine is running the alternator is supplying the electrical power to run the car ( and normally charging the
battery as well )
Even though it seems strange for the battery to go suddenly, it does happen.
How old is the bat. Most last about 5 years with normal driving ( batterys last longer if the car is used every day )
Anyway i hope i have been of some help to you.
