The other day my girlfriends son tried to be nice and detailed my truck but in the process decided to clean my engine.I've changed the spark plug wires and took off the distributor cap and left the hood up for the past couple of days.I'm still not getting a spark when I try to turn over the engine I know that I'm overlooking something but I don't know what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Check and test the distributor pick-up coil

Thnx rasmataz.I checked that and now im getting a spark ive also pulled and cleaned each spark plug and replaced distributor cap (it was foul) and spark plug wires. No when I try to start it the engine sputter almost like its trying to turn over but nothing almost like its not getting gas but when I spray starter fluid into the throttle body it does the same thing.

You're getting spark-double check the fuel pressure and check for injection pulses-
