engine problem
im stupid!!! ok, here i go... i sprayed the engine with a thing for washing the engine and removing the greasy and oily parts, waited for 15 min and then washed it with high pressure washing machine, started the engine just when i finished. im standing in front of the car, looking to the engine bay and im admiring my car! suddenly something starts to happen. tok tok tok puf puf puf and the engine turns of it self. e get in the car to start her and nothing, seems like she is going to start but that is far away from happenin. i can hear explosions from the exhaust, everything smells really bad, fuel isnt burning in the engine and when it comes out from the exhaust it smells "unburned" (the smell from the gas stations). somehow i started her reved her really slowly to 4k and let her idle. again she turned off. she is producing some wierd sounds... i hope that tommorow it is going to be better and that i will start her. any suggestions except: "dont wash her again?" im really helpless and mad at myself

Try taking the distributor cap, and plug wires off and drying them out maybe, the plugs too.

my guess is that maybe some water got into the intake system and your distributor got soaked. i've had the same thing happen before after i washed my engine. just had to wait a little bit and then try it again.
