Default Won't start

1992 camry, i washed the engine to clean up oil leak leftovers and now it won't start. I've checked for moisture everywhere but all is well, I don't seem to have any spark. I've checked for any connections that I might have disturbed but find nothing, also checked all fuses and relays, still nothing??? Where is the crank position sensor located? Maybe it's hidden and came loose with the pressure washer. Bear in mind, it ran perfect before it was washed.

HELP!!!

This is a common issue if too much water is applied when washing the engine.

The crank and cam sensors are located within the distributor (not a remote location as on much later models).

Suggest you obtain a can of WD-40 or other water displacement electrical spray.

Unplug and apply the spray to electrical connectors starting with those related to the ignition system such as igniter, distributor, coil, etc. Most likely there is water in one of the wiring connectors.

There is also a fuse box behind the drivers side ash try on the the dash next to what would be your left knee.
