I need HELP!
I have a 94 Civic DX, 2DR. I washed my engine, covered the distrubutor, and the battery with plastic wrap. When I started my car, it sounded kinda funny, and at first, I thought it was the exhaust. After a while, I figured out it's only running on 3 cylinders. Did a little work on the body for a couple days, and then wanted test it out. When I started it, and went on the street, the car just stopped, and it wouldn't start again. My dad figured out that the engine had water in there, and cleaned everything out. My car still won't start... What should I do? Any help?

The first place I would start is to pull the plug wires out and look down in the tubes. My bet is that you got water down in there (a very common problem when steam cleaning these engines). You can try to blow it out with compressed air and blow up into the spark plug wire boots also.
Without actually being there to try some things ... this would be my best educated guess.

The head is made of aluminum. Aluminum does not rust.
