Washed engine wont start
yo i was washing my car today...made for sure i didnt get the proper electronics wet, and its ben starting somewhat rough lately because it has been sitting for about a month (brake master cylinder) but lately it has been fine.....and there are those occasions where its weird.....but it will rev and turn and turn and almost want to start but it wont....and then...it started....and puffs and puffs of white smoke came out.so i shut it off after a minute or so......checked the oil...it was lo...got some oil...and looked under the cap and alot of water underneath the cap....and in the oil tube...so what the hell do i do now....and right after i got done washing it was fine drove it around to air dry it...then i waxed it and now this trash....whats the prob guys...???

I had the same problem two weeks ago. I took of the crank angle sensor and sprayed it out with compressed air. Just make sure all of your electronics are dry. That did it for me. Hope this helps.

I wish I was driving!
Go to your local automotive shop and pick up a spray called "electrical systems drier" or similar. It is for exactly what you did. Comes in a spray can, should only cost a couple bucks. Spray the wires, coils, AFM plug, and the CAS.

yeah but im thinking my problem is that i flooded the engine when i started it and drove it around and then brought it back while it was still warming up i think...cuz i did get it to start and all this puffs of what *** smoke started pouring out the back, and im going to try to start it again and if that doesnt work then ill try what u guys are telling me
