I went to have an engine wash done but now the engine will not start, all the lights on the dashboard appear okay, the radio and windows and door locks are functioning. The engine will crank but will just not start. Please help.

Hi,

Chances are the plug wires or distributor cap have gotten wet and causing a no spark issue with the ignition system.

Do me a favor. Follow this link and check to see if there is spark to the plugs. If there isn't, let me know.

Let me know what you find.
