Default HELP!! Vtec Solenoid/Spool Valve

Hi, I'm new here and need help. I have a 94 Prelude vtec.

I accidently sprayed brake cleaner into the vtec solenoid/spool valve assembly thinking it was the egr valve and now the car won't start.

What can I do to fix this problem? The car turns over but won't catch on.

HELP ME PLEASE...

unfortunately that shouldn't keep the car from turning on, it should have just contaminated your oil....you messed something else up....

what could it be? dizzy? main relay? starter?

the car cranks and turn but it seems like the battery is dying out as it gets weaker. then last night, i heard a POP sound, twice.
