Heh, I actually wash my engine about every few months, more if I go playing. Never had a problem until today. Damn thing cranked but wouldn't fire at all, ran through all the basics, distributor fuses etc, turned out to be a bad ignition wire, unrelated to the cleaning I suspect.

Sure I can, the ignition wire was already shot before I washed the engine, it was just a coincidence that it finally failed after I washed the engine, it didn't even get wet.
