1992 245 Non Start Occasional Sputters After Washing Cleaning Engine and Bay 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Build on  Thu Apr 6 14:27 CST 2023 [RELATED]

Hi Everyone!

I've gone from the most reliable car (with a cam seal leak) to a clean car that won't start!

I cleaned the engine and bay with a mild cleaner then hosed it down. I was careful to not get any direct spray near the distributer and coil. Now I crank and crank with an occasional half attempt to sputter, and a sputter or two when I stop cranking.

I ran the onboard diagnostic and it says everything is good. All the electrical seems to be working correctly. I smell fuel after cranking. I pulled plug #1 and there is spark.

Any ideas where to check? Crank sensor?

Thanks in advance!
