Call me a dummy but I had planned on doing a little cosmetic work on my 1996 Accord so I thought I would start with the engine. I have cleaned many before with out any problems. I started it up and sprayed it down while it was running as I always have. Let it run for 10 - 15 min. after I was finished and now it won't start. I checked for moisture in the distributor cap and it was fine, wires looked OK too. It turns over fine any all electricals work ...it just won't start. Any ideas?

 

what did you spray it with? did you cover any of your electrical parts, did you check your fuses?

 

I figured it out!

When I made sure that there was no moisture in the distributor cap, I had to remove an plug to get at one of the bolts to for the cap. It seems that I forgot to plug it back in. You learn by admitting your mistakes (no matter how stupid they are!).
