Default Help guys please

96 classic,

Just had it washed got 500 yards went round an island and it died, turning over ok just not firing, 2 plugs behind battery for engine were wet all other pipes plugs no problem, when I turn ignition on battery light is on but the cel and the other amber light flash on in time with a click from right side of dash around the area of the fuel pump relay, about once every 1.5 seconds,

Any ideas guys no smell of burning either

Thanks

They didnt spray under the bonnet with the power washer did they?

is the engine turning over properly or slow?

If you can - leave it to dry out (dry what you can see too) and try starting it again in a couple of hours - thats assuming you have got it home.

i would remove the coil pack and plugs on the battery side and dry them out. Get your plugs on a low heat radiator or something if they are visibly wet.

My guess as to why the relays are clicking their **** off is because there is water in some place where it shouldnt be.
