Try this. Use a hair dryer set to Hi....and at a distance of about 2 inches...dry the Distributor Cap and the Spark Plug Wires . Try drying out the area around the Spark Plug Boots and SP. Get back to us with results.

Ok....it's back to the basics. Do you have a way to check for spark at the spark plugs. Can you carefully remove the distributor cap and check for moisture inside the distributor?

I pressure washed 89 camary and it won’t start . I ran it during pressure wash and then drove several places . It popped a bit next morning then wouldn’t start at all . I went through cleaning mass air flow sensor and replaced distributor cap . Cleaned all electronic connectors It tries to start a bit but no cigar . I due have damaged broke open open fuse box in engine area . I wonder if it’s a major fuse that looks good . I did clean all fuses inside and under the hood and clean out plug wells . I do not know what to check now ???
