Fox Wont Start!

[impulse001]

So I come home from school today, and my cousin decided to clean my engine for me, by spraying Simple Green and an engine degreaser all over and spraying it with the hose without covering anything up. Now my Fox, which used to start up right away, only cranks and wont start, any ideas where to look for the problem?

Update: I jumped the battery and she started after a couple attempts, ut shakes a little more than usual at idle now though.

Check your plugs and distributor for wetness. That's probably the dilemma. Been there before too.

It's the thought that counts!

Make sure that your distrubutor is dry. Take off the cap and manually dry it.
